What exactly do you mean? Fetch the values via form, querystring, xml, database, or sessions? Be more specific.

Form: Request.Form("inputname")
Querystring: Request.QueryString("querystringname")
XML: Requires much more
Database: (after connecting) rs("columnname") or rs.fields("columnname") if looped.
Session: strGetValue = Session("sessionname")

Be more specific please

Oh, and if you mean from asp.net with vb, you can declare a string with lets say.. strGetValue

after declaring and setting strings/connections, run an scalar method to get the value you wish. It only holds the first occurance of the sql.

cmdSelect = New SqlCommand( "SELECT UserName FROM Users WHERE UserID=@Userid", conn )
cmdSelect.Parameters.AddWithValue( "@Userid", strUserID )
strGetValue = cmdSelect.ExecuteScalar()

This would retrieve the users UserName where his userid equals strUserID.

Otherwise use the Reader method and bind it to a control like Repeater/Datalist/grid.

If in case you are talking about Code or bunch of methods written in Visual Basic 6.0, which would need to be exposed as Active X objects, and reference of those could be easily used in ASP.

Sorry, have no clue. Wish I could be of some help! You might try posting in the VB or C# forums here for a better answer.
