Visual Studio NET 2003

What is Visual Studio NET 2003?
Visual Studio is the integrated development environment (IDE) developed by Microsoft to support software development using one of the NET languages. Visual Studio 2003 contains a number of very useful development tools that makes it easy to write and debug programs in Visual Basic, Visual C#, C++, and other related Microsoft supported languages.
The various NET compilers (VB, C#, and C++) can all be run from the command prompt. This allows developers to use their own favorite editor to create programs. However, Visual Studio includes a number of very powerful tools that allow programmers to view and control databases (SQL Server), to connect to online resources, and to manage their programming projects. Visual Studio will automatically build code based on selections by the user.
Visual Studio uses a Project based environment where programs are saved inside a folder that has the name of the opened project. When you create a new project, Visual Studio creates a folder with the project name and creates some basic template files. As you create various elements in your application, such as forms or classes, additional files are added to the project.
Visual Studio will compile your program into an EXE file so it can be executed. However, most of the Microsoft Visual languages use NET and so any executable created can only be run in the NET environment.
Visual Studio can be used to manage projects that have modules written in different languages.
