Visual Studio is the IDE not a language. As it says at the top of that page, it's written in the C# language. Both VB and C# target the .NET Framework, so they both use all the same types and members, but they have different syntax. VB.NET is based on BASIC and, more specifically, Visual Basic while C# is based on C/C++. They are similar enough though that if you know a bit of one you should be able to translate at least bits and pieces. Sometimes the code is almost identical, for instance:

MessageBox.Show("Hello World")

MessageBox.Show("Hello World");

Now, as that page also says, you can add the compiled control to your Toolbox and use it in a VB project regardless. The whole .NET Framework was written in C# so you're doing that already. If you want to understand the code, then you're going to have to get your hands dirty. There are online code converters around, although they are not perfect. You could also see fellow member David Anton's signature for a link to his commercial tool that has a trial period.
