VISUAL BASIC LANGUAGE SUPPORT

Manage Risk Across Your Visual Basic Applications

Modern Visual Basic language development — whether building Windows desktop tools, enterprise systems, or maintaining legacy Visual Basic projects — relies heavily on external packages and the .NET ecosystem. Sonatype helps teams securely manage Visual Basic dependencies, strengthen their software supply chain, and maintain control across every Visual Basic build.

Secure the Visual Basic Package Ecosystem

The Visual Basic language (VB.NET and legacy Visual Basic) operates within the broader .NET framework and relies on NuGet packages for libraries, integrations, and shared functionality. As Visual Basic applications scale, so does dependency risk. Open source vulnerabilities, outdated packages, and unverified components can create security and compliance issues. Sonatype integrates into the .NET and NuGet ecosystem to help teams monitor, govern, and secure third-party packages used in Visual Basic projects. From development to production, organizations see which packages are used and ensure their Visual Basic build process stays secure and policy-aligned.

Supported Features in Visual Basic Projects

Nuget Integration

Easily manage NuGet repositories in your Visual Basic projects for controlled dependency use.

Dependency Intelligence

Identify vulnerabilities and security risks in open source components used in the Visual Basic ecosystem.

Policy Enforcement

Automatically enforce organizational standards for licensing, security, and quality before code moves forward.

Build Protection

Scan and validate dependencies during the Visual Basic build to prevent risky components from entering production.

Repository Management

Centralize, proxy, and cache internal and external NuGet repositories to improve reliability and performance.

Continuous Monitoring

Track new vulnerabilities in approved components and get alerts when risk levels change in your Visual Basic projects.

Strengthen Security in Your Visual Basic Projects

Visual Basic support spans the entire SDLC, from development in Visual Studio to CI/CD pipelines and artifact repositories. By integrating with existing tools, teams can enhance governance without disrupting workflows.

Whether maintaining legacy Visual Basic projects or building new VB.NET applications, secure dependency management reduces risk and supports development speed.

  • Improved Visibility

    Gain a clear inventory of open source packages in Visual Basic applications and builds.

  • Reduced Risk Exposure

    Detect and remediate vulnerable dependencies before they impact production systems.

  • Operational Consistency

    Establish standardized processes for managing Visual Basic packages across teams and environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do Visual Basic projects manage dependencies?

Most modern Visual Basic projects use NuGet to manage external libraries and packages within the .NET ecosystem.

Does Visual Basic support modern DevOps workflows?

Yes. Visual Basic integrates with CI/CD systems, version control platforms, and automated build pipelines as part of the broader .NET ecosystem.

Can Visual Basic applications be secured automatically?

Yes. Automated scanning and policy enforcement can be integrated into the Visual Basic build process to prevent vulnerable or non-compliant components from being used.
