Visual Studio is the full package of IDE and languages that Microsoft supports.Microsoft
used to sell languages individually, and it used the naming system of
calling each one “Visual,” like Visual Basic, Visual C++, Visual C#.
Since then, it’s packaged the languages together into one developer
package, so you can choose which language you want to use without having
to buy/download and install each one. It’s continued referring to
Visual Basic by its old name.
There
are more languages out there that support .Net than the ones Microsoft publishes. I know that from working with .Net many years ago. I haven’t
worked with .Net since, but I have confidence that there still are more
than what Microsoft produces.

There
is a huge difference between them. It’s like asking what’s the
difference between a wood-workshop and pile of lumber. They aren’t the
same thing except that you use one to build something with the other.
Visual
Studio is the environment where you build a program. Visual basic is
the language, the raw material you use to build that program. There was a
time when you didn’t need anything more than Notepad to build a Basic
program because it was an interpreted language and didn’t need to be
complied. Now-a-days you can’t do that. However, you can still write a
web page with Notepad, including any JavaScript or VBScript; depending
on your preference.
You
don’t have to use Visual Studio as there are many other compilers that
can be used to program in VB or C# or C/C++, HTML and possibly F# but I
don’t know of any that allow you to program all of these in the same
environment. Plus, there is a pretty good Debug environment in VS so you
don’t need a third party app to do that.
If
you really wanted to, and you know what you’re doing, you can even
write in machine language. Possible, but I wouldn’t suggest it.

The very first thing you should know is the difference between a programming language and an IDE .
An IDE is an Integrated Development Environment . It is a package of Compilers required platform and other debugger tools and many other tools for performance evaluation which are very helpful for programmers.

So
Visual Studio is an IDE by Microsoft and has many uses and is various
levels . It has also a version for Linux users. I has Net framework and
supports Common Language Runtime [CLR]. It is primarily used by C#
Developers and contains my complicated features to develop complicated
applications.
