I'm using MVVM Light in VB.Net. C# when compiled to a DLL and referenced in your project can be used used in VB.net. The reverse would be true of VB.Net DLL's in C#. That's the goodness of the .NET CLR.

As for the specifics of MVVM Light, install the latest package, http://www.galasoft.ch/mvvm/installing/ and reference the correct assemblies.

Use the Imports statement to bring the GalaSoft.MVVMLight namespaces into your project.

Imports GalaSoft.MvvmLight
Imports GalaSoft.MvvmLight.Messaging
Imports GalaSoft.MvvmLight.Threading
Imports GalaSoft.MvvmLight.Helpers
Imports GalaSoft.MvvmLight.Command
