Can anyone suggest a video showing how to use a simple HELLO WORLD program in Visual Basic that can be executed and run in Visual Studio Code? I installed the Java JDK as instructed by the Rocket extension but when I run the program it keeps asking me to install the extension (even though the Rocket extension shows as already installed). My simple test program has a suffix of '.vb' but the Rocket instructions said it must be '.b'. Does that mean the extension is only for BASIC and not for VISUAL BASIC programs?!?

When I did change my simple program's extension from '.vb' to '.b', I received this message from VSC which I don't understand or know how to correct:

Java 11 or Open JDK 11 runtime environment is irregular. Please check your Java environment and settings.

Thanks in advance to all who reply.

reply to Christian Bristow: Thanks for your reply but apparently, the extension referred to in Stack Overflow is no longer available.

Hello Dan,

The Rocket MV Basic extension for VS Code is currently either for UniData or UniVerse MV Basic code. It seems that VS Code can also support MS Visual Basic via a different extension. See link windows - How do i work in Visual Basic in VS Code or Mac? - Stack Overflow

Unfortunately, the youtube video How To Use Visual Basic in Visual Studio Code - YouTube has misled you and I hope they will correct the error.
