Almost everything you do in Visual Basic is associated with objects. If you are new to object-oriented programming, the following terms and concepts will help you get started.

This Article provides a guided tour of the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) class hierarchy.

Delegates are reference types that serve a purpose similar to that of function pointers in C++.

An interface defines a contract that specifies a "can do" relationship or a "has a" relationship.

Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is designed to offer a manageable approach to distributed computing, broad interoperability, and direct support for service orientation.

This Article briefly discusses the major differences between Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) versions 3.0 and 3.5.

When your code makes reference to a declared element, the Visual Basic compiler matches the name in your reference to the appropriate declaration of that name.

A characteristic of a declared element is an aspect of that element that affects how code can interact with it.
