CUDA and Visual Studio/VB

I have been trying to write an application that can grab details about an nvidia video card, but I’m having a hard time trying to find examples that are not in c++ but are in VB. I know I can load up the cudart64_80.dll and grab information but i’m having a hard time trying to find out what functions are there, and how to actually make a call out to them.

Has anyone done anything in VB and can give me any pointers? my google fu is failing me

When you say VB, I assume you mean VB.Net, in which case you could look at these option source .Net wrapper/interop libraries:

You could also look at Alea GPU https://devblogs.nvidia.com/parallelforall/accelerate-net-applications-alea-gpu/ which has a free community edition.
