VB is a compiled language. Or, at least it can be. It can also be interpreted. It just depends on your settings.

I dont get what's up with all the VB bashing. Is it really that bad? It's object-based, event-driven style is great for most programs. Event-driven would also be great for robot code (although the Visual aspect is unneeded).

For those that havent done VB, certain sub-routines (methods, functions, whatever) are called for each action.

Examples:

Button1_MouseClick is run every time Button1 is clicked

Timer1_Timer is run at a set interval in Timer1's properties

Form1_MouseEnter is run when the mouse enters Form1
