Yes it will, you just have to use the Windows API. Example: http://www.pscode.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=30204&lngWId=1

:o Something's easier than VB!?

VB .NET has the ability to make console apps, but really isn't suited for bot making because of the .NET Framework Update required to be run.

VB.NET == C#.NET == C++.NET

What's the common denominator? .NET.
The only difference is syntax.
