Hi Brian,
All of our application notes can be found on our .ca support site
here, but unfortunately we don't have anything specifically for VB. The concepts displayed in the other languages will apply, and if you do happen to create a simple program, please don't hesitate to share.
The drivers found
here do work on Windows 7 (I can personally confirm for 64bit).
If you do have any further questions or concerns as you continue development, please feel free to post.
Thanks,
~Troy
