Good DirectX tutorial for VB.NET2008?

I've came across a few tutorials online, most are aimed toward older versions of VB.net. I've gone to drunken hyena, and all the downloadable samples need converting, and vb messes them up.

I was wondering if anyone had a dumb simple (for idiots) tutorial for DirectX in VB.NET. I need to do simple lines, circles, arcs, etc. I have reasons for not using GDI+, so thats out. I also just downloaded the DirectX SDK, so I have that (too bad all the help they give you is in C++).

There are Managed samples in the SDK. Vb.Net and C# :p

However also have a look here...

Managed DirectX has been replaced by XNA by the way (unofficially though).
