What is IDE?

The IDEs, integrated development environments, are programs designed to handle

whole projects, that is to manage many files.
This is not a code editor, it is a whole development environment.
IDEs analyze all the files in the project and suggest autocompletion.
based on all the files of the project, not just on the language.
In addition to this, they integrate many other tools, such as compatibility with
version control systems such as Git.
Some examples are:
PhpStorm for web development, Android Studio for Android applications, Xcode
To program for iPhone, there are many options like NetBeans, Visual Studio Code.

On the other hand, we have lightweight code editors.

Lightweight code editors do not have as many features as IDEs, but
they are faster and simpler.
The main difference with the IDE is that the IDE works with whole projects,
while the lightweight editor does not, only for specific files, which makes it more
fast.
Some of these editors are:
Atom, Sublime Text, Brackets, Notepad++, there are many, in the end, everyone chooses here.
the one he/she likes the most.

ANOTHER DEFINITION

Integrated Development Environment (IDE).

An integrated development environment is a programming environment that has been
packaged as an application program, that is, it consists of an editor of
code, a compiler, a debugger and a graphical user interface (GUI) builder.
IDEs provide a user-friendly framework for most languages.
programming languages such as C++, PHP, Python, Java, C#, Delphi, Visual Basic, etc.
In some languages, an IDE can act as a runtime system.
execution, where it is allowed to use programming language in a way
interactive, without the need for text file-oriented work.
 What is it for?
They are visual design tools for creation and manipulation of
visual components, then serve as:
Code or text editor: syntax highlight
Mark region
Search and replace
Copy, cut and paste
Format
Undo and redo
Import
· Automatic code identification.
Code autocompletion, attributes, and class methods
Management and code generation assistants and utilities
Source files in some folders and compiled in others
Compiling complex projects in a single step
Version control: having a single repository of files
shared by all project collaborators, thus
when an error occurs, have an auto-recovery to a state
previous
ALPHA version: first version of the program
BETA version: full version of the program
RC version: final version of the program or final product
A client
· Supports simultaneous changes from multiple users
· Integrated documentation generator
· Help for building graphical user interfaces

OTHERS:
Go to the file where a certain function or variable is declared.
Code validation (Syntax error).
Know the files in which we have some syntax error.
Refactoring.
Know the functions declared in a class or script.
Generally, it will support languages or scripts such as: JavaScript, css,
SQL, etc.
SVN Client (In some).
FTP client (In some it is either by default or with some plugin).
 Visual Studio Programming Language
Microsoft Visual Studio is an integrated development environment (IDE, for its initials)
in English) for Windows, Linux, and macOS. It is compatible with multiple languages
of programming, such as C++, C#, Visual Basic .NET, F#, Java, Python, Ruby
and PHP, just like web development environments such as ASP.NET MVC, Django,
etc., to which the new online capabilities under Windows Azure must be added.
in the editor Monaco style.
Visual Studio allows developers to create websites and web applications, as well as
web services in any environment compatible with the .NET platform (from
the .NET 2002 version). Thus, applications can be created that communicate between
workstations, web pages, mobile devices, embedded devices and
video game consoles, among others.

Visual Studio .NET (2002)

In this version, a substantial change occurred, as it involved the introduction
from the Microsoft .NET platform. .NET is a runtime platform
intermediate multilingual, so that the programs developed in .NET do not
they compile in machine language, but in an intermediate language (CIL - Common
Intermediate Language) known as Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL). In
an MSIL application, the code is not converted to machine language until it
execute, so that the code can be platform-independent (to
less than those currently supported by .NET). The platforms must have a
implementation of Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) to be able to execute
MSIL programs. Currently, MSIL programs can be run on Linux and
Mac OS X using non-Microsoft .NET implementations, such as
Mono and DotGNU.

Visual Studio .NET 2002 also marked the introduction of the C# language, a
new language specifically designed for the .NET platform, based on C++
and J#. The J# language was also introduced (successor to J++), which, instead of
execute on a Java virtual machine, runs only on the framework
.NET. The Visual Basic language was completely remodeled and evolved to
adapt to the new features of the .NET platform, making it much more
versatile and endowing it with many features that it lacked. Something similar is
carried out with C++, adding extensions to the language called Managed
Extensions for C++ so that programmers could create programs
.NET. On the other hand, Visual FoxPro is marketed separately.
All languages are unified in a single environment. The interface is improved.
notably in this version, being cleaner and more customizable.

Visual Studio .NET can be used to create Windows-based programs

(using Windows Forms instead of COM), applications and websites (ASP.NET and
web services), and mobile devices (using the .NET Compact Framework).
This version requires an NT-based operating system. The internal version of
Visual Studio .NET is version 7.0.

Visual Studio .NET 2003

Visual Studio .NET 2003 is a minor update of Visual Studio .NET.
.NET Framework is updated to version 1.1. Support is also added with the
to end writing applications for certain mobile devices, whether with
ASP.NET or with the .NET Compact Framework. In addition, the Visual compiler
C++ is improved to meet more standards: the Visual C++ Toolkit 2003.
Visual Studio 2003 is released in four editions: Academic, Professional,
Enterprise Developer and Enterprise Architect. The Enterprise Architect edition.
included an implementation of Microsoft Visio modeling technology, which is
focused on the creation of visual representations of the architecture of the
applications based on UML. "Enterprise Templates" was also introduced, to
help large teams standardize programming styles and
promote policies for the use of components and allocation of properties.
Microsoft released Service Pack 1 for Visual Studio 2003 on September 13th.
2006.
The internal version of Visual Studio .NET 2003 is 7.1, although the format of
the file used is the 8.0.
It is compatible only with Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, or earlier.

Introduction to Visual Basic .NET

Microsoft Visual Basic .NET is one of the programming languages.
administrables compatible with the common runtime library in
Visual Basic .NET. Many of the examples in this documentation are written
Visual Basic .NET. You can use Visual Studio 2005 and Visual Studio for
develop SMO applications.
After starting the Visual Studio project, you must add the references.
to the SQL Server Management Objects (SMO) assemblies.
Next, import the necessary namespaces for your program.
can recognize the types SMO.
In SQL Server 2014, the SMO assemblies are located in the folder
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\120\SDK\Assemblies\ .
Visual Basic is designed to productively create applications with
object-oriented type safety. Visual Basic allows developers
set as destination mobile devices, web and Windows. Like everyone else
the languages that target Microsoft .NET Framework, the programs
written in Visual Basic benefit from security and interoperability between
languages.
This generation of Visual Basic continues to offer a quick and easy way to
create applications based on .NET Framework.
Visual Studio IDE
The Visual Studio integrated development environment is a creative start panel.
what can be used to edit, debug and compile code and then publish a
application. An integrated development environment (IDE) is a program with
numerous features that can be used for many aspects of development
of the software. Beyond the standard editor and the debugger that they provide
most IDEs, Visual Studio includes compilers, completion tools
code, graphic designers, and many more features to facilitate the
software development process.

This image shows Visual Studio with an open project and several windows.
key tools you will likely use:
The Solution Explorer (top right) allows you to view, navigate
and manage the code files. The Solution Explorer can
help organize the code by grouping the files in solutions and
projects.
The editor window (center), where you are likely to spend most of your time
of the time, it shows the content of the file. It is where you can edit code
to design a user interface, such as a window with buttons and boxes
of text.
Team Explorer (bottom right) allows for tracking of
the work elements and share code with other users through
version control technologies such as Git and version control of
Team Foundation (TFVC).
