a. GUI
b. IDE
c. UDE
d. user interface
Answer: b
Feedback:
An IDE is an environment that contains all of the tools and features you need to create, run, and test
your programs. A GUI, which stands for graphical user interface, is what the user sees and interacts
with while a program is running. UDE is not a defined acronym in Visual Basic. A user interface, also
referred to as a GUI, is what the user sees and interacts with while a program is running.
2. When using an analogy involving a blueprint and a tree house, which of the following is the class, and
which is an object created from it?
a. blueprint is the class, treehouse is the object
b. treehouse is the class, blueprint is the object
Answer: a
Feedback:
In the blueprint and treehouse analogy, the blueprint is the class and the treehouse is the object. A

3. In the Visual Studio IDE, which window is used to create your application’s user interface?
a. designer
b. form
c. GUI
d. interface
Answer: a
Feedback:
In the Visual Studio IDE, you use the designer window to create an application’s user interface. A
form is one of many objects that appear in the designer window. A GUI, which stands for graphical
user interface, is what the user sees and interacts with while a program is running. An interface is
also what the user sees and interacts with while a program is running.

d. Toolbox
Answer: c
Feedback:
The characteristics that control an object’s appearance and behavior are set in the Properties
window. The Visual Studio IDE does not have a Characteristics window or an Object window. It does,
however, have an Object box, which is part of the Properties window. The Toolbox contains tools that

6. Which window lists the projects and files included in a solution?
a. Object
b. Project
c. Properties
d. Solution Explorer

The Properties window lists the characteristics that control an object’s appearance and behavior.
7. Which of the following is not a valid name for an object?
a. picMy.Dog
b. btnCalcSalesTax
c. lbl2019

character. Because of the period in the name, picMy.Dog is not a valid name for an object. Because it
begins with a letter and contains only letters, btnCalcSalesTax is a valid name for an object. Because
each begins with a letter and contains only letters and numbers, lbl2019 and lblProjected2024 are
valid names objects.
