The VBP file extension is used by the Microsoft Visual Basic programming language to represent a Visual Basic project file. The VBP file type contains once or multiple forms, standard modules, classes and other objects which have been created using the Visual Basic development environment. The file type holds all references to certain ActiveX libraries that are used by the script, and also holds all references to objects created within the development system while working on the project.
What It’s For
The primary purpose of a VBP file is to store a collection of keyboard shortcuts, bookmarks, and references to other elements that have been created within an editor — such as Microsoft Visual Studio. This enables an editor to remember exactly what was done in a project without having to relink or reconfigure the code throughout the document.
Structure and Content
A VBP file is encoded in plaintext, meaning it can be opened for viewing inside a common text editor such as Notepad. A VBP file will contain all the references necessary for linking and running a certain script. This includes: global object declarations, references to libraries (like COM components used by ActiveX), class declarations, necessary header files, resource files (.res files) and even persistent window data.
In addition to this, there are similar extension like VBPROJ, VBG, VBD, etc. that serve very close functions.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .VBP) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .VBP extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .VBP file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .VBP extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .VBP extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .VBP file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .VBP file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .VBP file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .VBP file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .VBP file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
