NET Visual Basic is no longer supported or updated by Microsoft, the VBA programming language was upgraded in with the introduction of Visual Basic for Applications 7 in Microsoft Office applications and it is still popular in industrial applications and customizations. VB uses VBA as its central code engine. VBA allows you to customize and extend product capabilities. Back Main Next. Therefore, we are basically doing a comparison between VB6 and VB.
In the year , Microsoft launched VB. Net to replace VB6. Net, the basic syntaxes are very similar. However, it is more convenient to code in VB. Net than VBA. The following is the list of the differences between Visual Basic. Net and VBA. Reference — In VBA, you can add external references using tools and references menu.
Some of the popular DLL files like user32, shell32, kernal32 and likewise can be included easily. However, if the files and references are not available, there will be malfunctioning. On the other hand, on VB. Net, you can give path addresses according to which the files and libraries will be looked up. This means that if a file is not available in the first path, it will automatically look in the second path.
Compatibility — VBA is applicable only in bit or less. Therefore, any program written in VBA will work only in bit processor or less. This does not mean that it will not run in x64, however, it will not be processed faster as you would expect from a bit processor as it will act like a bit processor for the application or program. In other words, there will be limitations in smaller number precision, files size up to 2GB only, and memory limits up to 4GB.
Second, while the properties and methods of early-bound objects can be examined in Visual Basic or hosted VBA environments using the Object Browser, this is not the case with late-bound objects. Finally, the help facilities available for early-bound objects in VB and VBA like Auto List Members and Auto Quick Info are not available, making syntax errors more likely and ready access to good documentation all the more necessary.
Most functions and procedures, VBA supports both positional and named arguments. Note that while positional arguments must occur in a predefined sequence, named arguments need not.
At least in our experience, more advanced programmers tend to prefer positional syntax, while more novice programmers tend to prefer named arguments. Given all of this, it is unfortunate that VBScript supports only positional arguments. Typically, web developers have had their own environments for writing their code. This allows web developers to continue to use their tool of choice even when using VBScript.
And a wide array of tools for web script development are available.
