The new Microsoft
vision about application programmability is VSA.
VSA stands for
"Visual Studio for Application". In Visual Studio.NET, if you click on Tools |
Macro | Macro IDE, you enter in a VSA environment.
VBA : VB6 = VSA :
VB.NET
It's not entirely
correct, because VSA is much more.... for example it's a runtime environment
that can be hosted under a Web Site to allow remote
programmability...
There is an article
on MSDN: http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/02/08/VisualStudioforApplications/default.asp
Another thing.
Microsoft will release VBA 6.3 on the next version of Office: for now it is not
planned a migration under .NET/VSA.
This is because VBA,
despite of it's power, is not used so much.
VBScript is a
different thing. It's a scripting language with the sintax of a Visual Basic.
It's dead.
(but it had the
first definition of class....end class construct: VB6 had one file for each
class)
