have you tried doing a search for the phrase "free VB compiler" on google?

I remember finding one online (forget the name), but I think it was VB4 or something similarly ancient. So yeah, your best bet is to acquire the real thing.

If you know (or are willing to learn) Java, Netbeans IDE is a good way to do GUI. After I figured out the Netbeans interface, which is a little strange to begin, the thought crossed my mind that it was like VB, only in Java. That is to say, you can create a form, and drag-and-drop buttons, text boxes, etc. onto it and it handles all the code for them. It's a little less simple than VB, but I'd say it's more powerful. Plus, it's free! The only problem is that Netbeans is a little resource-intensive. If you have a fast computer ( 1+ GHz ) it won't be a problem.

Swing isn't really that hard, Jagori. Besides, there is BreezySwing, which makes GUI coding a mite easier. Not exactly point 'n' click like VB, but anything worth doing is worth actually working for.

Oh, I know it's not hard. I learned how to use it in about four hours, with no previous Java experience (only C++), and I just keep teaching myself as I go. That's why I suggested it Plus, NetBeans makes it very easy once you learn your way around the IDE.

It doesn't support normal bog standard VB though, only the object orientated version, VB .net.

Not that I am saying that this is a bad thing.

The Visual Basic .net compiler is free, and comes with the .net SDK I think. But it's just the command line compiler tool, not the fancy thing that lets you draw your forms.

Exactly. Plus, .Net adds shit that obfuscates any language it touches.
