An Integrated Development Environment (abbreviated as DE) is an application development program that gives programmers the tools required to ereate applications sing a panicular programming language, An IDE is a software application which provides comprehensive facies (computer programmers for software development. Visual Basic supports a builtin-IDE which makes it 2 complete windows based integrated development cavironment, Visual Basic's IDE facilitates a Programming environment integrated into a software application which provides tools such as: source code editor, «compiler ora interpreter, a debugger and tools for managing projects suchas GUI builder Visual Base applications ar created using Visual Baic's builtin IDE (Integrated Development Environment). This built-in IDE allows the user to design applications and add tools to the VB window which the user wants. Thus IDE provides a beter environment forthe programmer to create, run and debug Visual Basi programs effectively and efficiently.

Visual Basie allows usage of variables without declaring them. Whenever VB comes across variable that has not been declared, that variable is considered to be implicitly declared and its data type is assumed to be variant. Implicit variable declaration sometimes creates problems. In case, there is any speling mistake while weting variable name, VB does not report any error instead it considers it a a new variable and uses it. To avoid such situations, one can force VB for the explicit declaration ‘of variables.
