Standard Guidelines for VB.Net Coding

1

• The most thing any programmer fears about is the
  coding standards needed to be followed while
  coding using that particular language. In this
  case it is Visual Basic.
• They feel most of the times that it is like
  something carved on a stone. And that too on a
  black one. But there is no need to panic and fear
  the guidelines.
• Standards are only meant to make the job of a
  programmer easy and streamlined. These would
  assist the developers at every step in their
  career.
• Whether they are freshers or experienced doesnt
  really matter. We are writing this blog to
  emphasize on these rules or guidelines that would
  help the developers of visual basic big time. CRB
  Tech reviews feels that these are just like the
  ten commandments.

• Basically, application design involves three
  parts
• Introduction
• Design of Program
• UI Design

Introduction A lot of issues are faced while
creating an excellent programming design. Taking
into consideration, just the view of the
programmers is not at all sufficient. While
designing, the end user point of view also needs
to be taken into consideration. After all, it is
the end user whom you would be targeting. To
understand this better, lets break it down into
two parts namely, program design and UI design.
Program design focuses on the back end or the
internal working of the application. While the UI
part focuses on the front end or the user
interactive part. Program Design First try to
filter out the problem or the issue and then
dissect it into the final draft before the
integration stage.

Understanding Problem For the creation of an
application using a language like Visual Basic or
VB .NET as it may be called, first and the
foremost thing that you need to understand is the
nature of the program. If you are already
possessing the knowledge about any kind of coding
language, then you would come to know about the
difficulties faced while understanding the
problem. Problem is nothing but the requirements
of your client or end user. Combined with this,
the shortcomings in your plan in comparison to
clients requirements. Best solution is to build
a prototype design model of your final goal and
demonstrate to the user. If the user gives a
green signal, then you can proceed to the next
level. Else, redo it again. Breaking It
Down Chopping down the problem into smaller
entities helps you to go in the right direction
and also is the right path to go to the final
stage. It also allows you to experiment with
every bit of the entity broken down.

Layout or Style In Visual Basic, the style and
the layout portion define the view of the script.
Making perfect use of brackets, spaces and commas
is important. The style should be defined
properly so that it looks like a coding one and
not like that of a office document. Coding
Efficiency As far as coding in VB is concerned,
these are things to be remembered Use possible
integers. Use variables properly. Avoid using
variants now and again. As far as possible, use a
one line statement and avoid multiple
assignments. Do not execute the code after each
line. It may discourage you after seeing the
errors.

Integration of Solution Once you have fully
analyzed the problem by breaking it into pieces
or components it becomes easier to integrate
them into a solution. Interface between the
components is also defined. If proper control is
maintained on all the modules, then it becomes
easy to change the code without disturbing the
application. UI Design This part would guide
you in developing the UI in accordance to the
guidelines. Each language has its own platform
for showing their UI layout for the design. If
any developer has the information about the
platform, then he can very well conquer the
design stage. Here are some coding standards in
VB, which are related to designing Layout/Style

VB4 and VB6 have a huge library of coding
standards. Best way to learn new things is by
making changes in default codes and exploring. VB
is a user friendly and easy to code language.
Developers with a good command over this language
can make it big in 60-90 days. Those who really
