After mastering c/c++, VB.NET will be easy for you.

Where to start:

MSDN Visual Basic Programming Guide, specialy the Visual Basic Language Features, and Program Structure and Code Conventions.

Forums / Articles:

• Stackoverflow has lots of .NET experts, ask anything and you shell be answered! :)
• http://www.vbdotnetheaven.com/
• Visual Basic Developer Center

Since VB.NET and C# are both .NET languages, almost all code written in C# can be easily converted to VB. From my personal experience, C# is more widely spread and I often find myself converting C# code samples to VB.NET.

Since C# is similar to C, you could start by looking at this

You could also look at the ".NET Framework Class Library" http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/w0x726c2.aspx to give you a quick list of every namespace/class available.
