   VB may refer to the 2005 version of VB.NET (VB 8.0) (Microsoft removed the ".NET" part of the name) or VB6 (or earlier).  It depends on its context.

  You appear to have posted many similar questions in the last few days:

  What is the difference between VB, C#, studio 2003, studio 2005 etc etc.

  The answer  to all of these questions:

  VB is Visual Basic , an implementation of the BASIC language.  This has had many versions before .NET, known as VB3, VB4, VB5 and VB6. Each new version added new features.

  VB5 and 6 are still widely used, but obsolete. (However, VBA is also widely used,shows no signs of going away, and is syntax compatible with VB5/6)

   

  When the .NET framework was released, it provided a common set of libraries and objects for use in programming for Windows.

  You may use BASIC to control this, or Java, or C#  (which is like C and C++ but easier to use)

  Studio 2003 has been superceded by Studio 2005, which adds new facilities that don't need listing in this answer. Soon there will be a 2008.

   

  If you are asking because you are considering starting to program, you should read up about the relative merits of BASIC and C#, pick one, then start to learn.

  Since 'Express' versions of C# and VB are currently available free from Microsoft, you should invest in a good book on your choice, download something, and get typing. :)

  Personally, I use either, but tend to use BASIC if I need to get something developed quickly. 

  (But the development time difference has eroded a lot in .NET when I think back to the way things were in the days of C++ and VB5)
