There is nothing that says you can't do the exact same thing in VB.Net. All you have to do is go to the references folder in your project, right click it and select Add Reference. Go to the COM tab, scroll down to Microsoft Script Control 1.0, double-click it then click OK. Back in your project, open the code for your Form and put the following line BEFORE the Public Class statement for your Form:
Imports MSScriptControl
Now declare a script control object in an appropriate place in your code, set the control to the language you want to use, and tell it to execute the code you want. Here is a short example:
Imports MSScriptControl
Public Class Form1
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
' Windows Form Designer generated code
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim script As New MSScriptControlClass
script.Language = "VBScript"
script.ExecuteStatement("msgbox ""This is a test...""")
End Sub
End Class
