In Linux what is the equivalent of Visual Basic.NET. Is there such a thing. Is there a language in Linux that is similar to Visual Basic.NET?

Thanks...

I am not really familiar with Visual Basic.Net's features, but there are a few IDE's out there that'll let you do graphical form layout and such. Kylix, which is maybe by Borland (available free if you are making GPL software, at cost for proprietary use) allows you to use C++ or Delphi. kdeveloper/qtdesigner is another C++ oriented system that favors Qt apps. I am sure there are more but the only one I have ever really used is kdeveloper/qtdesigner. I do most of my work with vi and C.

If you are looking for something that uses Basic specifically the answer is probably no, as basic isn't popular at all for linux software development.

As far as I know currently the nearest program that matches the visual basic .NET is java(My opinion) and the program that is very very very similiar or is now trying to be similar to Visual basic .NET environment is lindows. but must warn u first if u are new to lindows is that it is still in beta development very little features available but u can try it.

Lindows is an entire Linux distribution. Java is just a programming language, it doesn't provide any of the graphical interface builder layout tools or anything on it's own.
