If you could write the code in C# , maybe you can try .NET Reflector， 
(http://www.aisto.com/roeder/dotnet/).
This tool could de-compile the .NET assembly into any programming 
language it support (C#, Visual Basic, Delphi etc )
so write your sample code in C# then open the compiled assembly in .NET 
reflector , set language to Visual Basic, it will show your code in VB.

Hope this helps,
