Line 7:
::::*'''VBDOS''' is really part of the QuickBASIC family -- in fact, VBDOS can compile most QB programs without change, and could be considered the "missing link" between QB and "real" VB. (There is a Win16 program included with VBDOS and ''maybe'' VB1 that can translate back-n-forth.) See [[wp:Visual Basic#Timeline|this section of WP's VB page]] for a tiny bit of info. (The "forms" part of VBDOS is almost identical to VB1; it's ''everything else'' that needed translating.)
::::*'''Early VB''' is VB1-3. The language is essentially the same as VB4-6, but the internals are a bit different, they're 16-bit only, and they use VBX controls instead of COM (OLE, ActiveX, OCX) controls.
:::::'''EDIT:''' I wouldn't worry about the Win16 VB's much; they're almost certainly not in use any more. As far as programmers are concerned, early VB can probably be grouped with COM VB, for the most part. The language doesn't change very much from, say, 3 to 4, or even 1 to 6; someone who learned on VB1 could jump to VB6 and be up to speed within a day. -- [[User:Eriksiers|Erik Siers]] 17:28, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
::::*'''COM VB''' is VB4 through VB6, and VBA. They are Win32 (VB4 also has a Win16 version) and use ActiveX (OCX) components.
::::*'''VB.Net''' isn't really VB, as far as most "classic" VB programmers are concerned. It's got a VB-ish syntax, but the differences are great enough that it's really a separate language.
