    Visual Basic is just one of the languages that make up Visual Studios. Visual Studios includes (VB.net, C#, F#, C++) it also includes the active server pages (asp.net) framework so you create web pages/applications using both html and VB/C#.

    Re: VISUAL BASIC vs VISUAL STUDIO

    Visual Basic is both an IDE and a programming language. Visual Studio is the Microsoft IDE for .NET programming and more. There are various components to Visual Studio, each designed for development using a specific language or technology. The Visual Basic component is an IDE for Windows development with the Visual Basic language. The Visual C# component is an IDE for Windows development using the C# language. The Visual C++ component is for Windows development using the C++ language, which includes both unmanaged (non-.NET) C++ and C++/CLI (.NET). The Visual Web Developer component is for web development using the Visual Basic and C# languages and the ASP.NET technology.

    The four components mentioned above also come in free, standalone Express editions. Apart from that, Visual Studio also supports components from Microsoft for SQL Server development (up to VS 2008 so far), Windows Phone 7, F# and XNA. Visual Studio is also extensible, allowing third-parties to create components that plug-in and support other languages and technologies.

    If you are interested in learning VB development then you should start by downloading and installing VB Express and, if you want to learn web development, VWD Express.
