What is a VBZ file?
A VBZ file is a project template used by classic versions of Microsoft Visual Basic, such as VB 5.0 and VB 6.0, to create new software projects with predefined settings and structure. It contains project information, including default forms, modules, references, and project configuration, which provides developers with a starting point for creating new projects more efficiently without having to build the structure from scratch.
More Information
VBZ files are stored in a binary format that preserves project settings and templates for the Visual Basic environment. Software developers and programmers who worked in classic versions of Visual Basic ised VBZ templates to streamline repetitive tasks, enforce consistency across projects, or provide a standardized interface for a series of similar applications. VBZ templates may include elements such as preconfigured menus, sample code, and default controls to help developers get started quickly.
How to open a VBZ file
You can open VBZ files with classic Microsoft Visual Basic, such as VB 5.0 and VB 6.0 (modern versions do not support VBZ files). To open a VBZ file with an older version of the software, use the New Project or "Project Wizard" feature, and the template will appear as an option for creating a new project, allowing you to use the prebuilt structure and settings.
