Yup. A 'managed' version of DirectX has been around for a while now, and while I expect it's easier to use from C# than VB.NET, it's certainly possible to use it from the latter. After all, .NET is .NET, whichever language you use.

Personally I use C#. I could probably use VB.Net if I tried, but for some reason I feel much more comfortable with C#. I thought he was talking about vb6. I've looked at vb6 and DX, and it's not exactly great. If you just looking to play around with it, then it's fine, but I wouldn't use it for any game programming even remotley high end.
