Visual Basic Project Type???

Can someone give me a clear understanding and concepts of the different type of Visual Basic Projects. If there are site that give examples of each type, please post.

Currently, I know how to use

• Standard Project
• ActiveX Control
• VB Application Wizard
• AddIn

I like to know the concepts behind these project types.

• ActiveX EXE
• ActiveX Dll
• ActiveX Document EXE
• ActiveX Document Dll
  
• Data Project
• DHTML Application
• IIS Application
  
• VB Enterprise Edition Control
• VB Professional Edition Control
• VB Application Wizard Manager

Thank you and greatly appreciated for any info.

Anyone out there?

Check out the MSDN help for the project types.

All ActiveX types refer to ActiveX components. Standard EXE is a normal application. Data Project is used for creating database-related apps quickly.

• Standard EXE - This is the type of project you would use to create a standard Windows program (.EXE file). You will probably use this type of project most often.
  
• ActiveX EXE - This is an automation server that performs tasks as part of a multiple-tier application. The end result is a program that contains public classes that can be accessed by other programs or can run by itself. This used to be known as an OLE automation server.
  
• ActiveX DLL - This is a remote automation program created as a DLL. ActiveX DLLs cannot run alone; however, because an ActiveX DLL runs in-process, it is faster than an out-of-process ActiveX EXE.
  
• ActiveX Control - With this option, you can create your own custom controls (OCXs). These can be used in your Visual Basic programs or in any ActiveX-capable application.
  
• VB Application Wizard - If you want something quick and generic, this option builds the skeleton of an application (similar to a word processor template). You can then customize the application to suit your needs.
  
• Addin - This type of program is used to provide additional functionality to Visual Basic itself. An example of an add-in is the Visual Data Manager
  
• ActiveX Document DLL - This type of project creates a DLL that can be utilized by applications running within Microsoft Internet Explorer
  
• ActiveX Document EXE - This type of project creates an application that can run inside Microsoft Internet Explorer.
  
• IIS Application - (Internet Information Server)

That's all I know (text as is from Using Visual Basic 5 Second Edition by Mike McKelvy, Jeff Spotts, and Brian Siler)
P.S. Sorry for adding stuff you already know. I just didn't feel like removing them (Copy-Paste method)

Thanks, QWERTY for being so descriptive. I know all of it, but was too lazy to write all that down. Must stop being like that.

Thanks QWERTY for taking the time.
