1. Strings are essential for working with text data in Visual Basic. Use the String class to manipulate them efficiently. 2. Dates can be represented in Visual Basic using either the Date data type or the DateTime data type. 3. Use the Format function to display dates in a variety of formats. 4. Use the DatePart function to extract specific parts of a date. 5. Use the DateAdd and DateDiff functions to perform calculations on dates. 6. Use the DateDifference function to determine the difference between two dates. 7. Use the IsDate function to validate user input and ensure that it is in the correct format. 8. Use the Year, Month, and Day functions to extract the year, month, and day from a date. 9. Use the Now function to get the current date and time. 10. Use the StrConv function to convert strings to uppercase, lowercase, or proper case.
