Development with My (Visual Basic)
Visual Basic provides new features for rapid application development that improve productivity and ease of use while delivering power. One of these features, called My
, provides access to information and default object instances that are related to the application and its run-time environment. This information is organized in a format that is discoverable through IntelliSense and logically delineated according to use.
Top-level members of My
are exposed as objects. Each object behaves similarly to a namespace or a class with Shared
members, and it exposes a set of related members.
This table shows the top-level My
objects and their relationship to each other.
