I tried to find out about this programing language in this forum but it seems there is none. I am really confused about this language and visual basic. Can anyone help me figure out the real difference between BASIC programing language and visual basic. and moreover I need some help on this to complete my semesters project work.

I will be much appreciative if you could help me

Well, BASIC was born in 1963., and belongs to a group of high-level programming languages (whereas assembler would be low-level)... BASIC stands for Beginners All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code...

There are 3 generations of BASIC languages:
1st Generation: Mainly used by mathematicians and scientists, since home comuters weren't that wide spread... For example, Commodore computers used BASIC V2 as it's operating system, or something similar to OS... You could enter program directly, without an editing program, directly into RAM... Every line of code, had to be preceded by a line number

2nd Generation: QuickBASIC (QB, or QBasic) or PowerBASIC... This new generation offered improvements of the language, mostly in the areas of structured and procedural programming... Line numbers were optional in this generation, and literal labels introduced, to achieve program branching...

3rd Generation: This is where Visual Basic and Visual Basic.NET show up... This generations main improvement is object-oriented (OO) programmin, and event driven programming... There was one version ov Visual Basci for Dos, and all later versions were made for Windows... Visual Basic.NET is the last version of BASIC, in Micro$oft's production...

You can look-up much more info about BASIC languages on Wikipedia...

What kind of help do you need?
