I know visual basic very well but not familiar with visual studio. Can I create programs using visual basic language in visual studio?

Here is the simple answer, Visual Basic is a programming language and Visual Studio is a software package that you can use to program in Visual Basic language, you can also use Visual Studio to program in other languages like, C#, C++, etc.

As others have said here visual basic is a language. Visual studio is an ide. They get confused a lot for some reason.

Yes you can. Visual Studio is an IDE that utilizes the .NET framework to allow you to code .NET applications. you may create Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) applications inside of it.

x = "Visual Basic"

y = "Visual Studio"

x == y ?

False

x != y ?

True
