VB.Net in VS2008 does not support DDE connectivity. You are going to have to do an OPC Connection. I am not sure what free options there are out there any more to get the .Net OPC 3.0 libraries from the OPC Foundation you will need to become a member. You can try Kepware s ClientAce development toolkit if you are running a full version VS2008, it will not load into the express version. The DA Junction, in ClientAce, is a good tool for what you want to do.

Your last option is to embed a spreadsheet in your VB application and get the data from it that way.

I used this with VB.NET 2010. Worked pretty good. After you add a reference to it, it worked similar to DDE in excel.

Sourceforge.net

Sourceforge.net has great interface driver code that you can use in your VB code to communicate with Rockwell hardware. I have used it extensively to get data from PLC's and process the information.

Just search on Rockwell.
