I'm trying to make a vb.net application that has got 2 textboxes, 7 radio buttons and 2 buttons(one named compile and the other 'run'). How can I load the content of a C/C++(or any programming language) file into the 1st textbox and on clicking the compile button, i should be able to show the errors or the C/C++ program in the 2nd textbox. On clicking Run, I should be able to show the output in the 2nd textbox. In short, I want to use the 2nd textbox as a terminal/console. The radio buttons are 4 selecting the language C or C++ or python or C# or java or perl or vb. Are the compilers of all these languages present in .net? If so how can I call them?

Look at the System.IO namespace for clues as to how you go about loading the contents of a file into a text box. In particular, the File class.
Look at the System.Diagnostics namespace for clues as to how to go about launching a process and capturing the output. In particular, the Process class.
System.Diagnostics.Process Class

Compiling can be done by calling cl.exe which comes with Visual Studio. Of course you could also use GCC instead.
