Short answer: no, try and learn a new language like Python.

Long answer: you can use mono to run the application on your pi after compiling it on a desktop computer.

Not every program can run in mono and it is way easier to just learn to write it Python. You can do more like use GPIO.
There are 10 types of people: those who understand binary and those who don't.

Mono only applies to vb.net. VB6 is quite a bit older than that.

Check out Gambas 3, it's the Linux worlds "Visual Basic" except it is much better! Gambas have a great IDE and very active developers, below is a screen shot of the IDE and link to the Gambas site.

I compiled Gambas 3.5.4 on Debian Wheezy without problems using the information at the Gambas site and also run it on Debian Squeeze.
