for applications such as this I would use a microcontroller with ADC and onboard USB interface, e.g.

you can buy low cost (about $40) PIC18 based prototyping boards such as

or PIC24 based (about $60)

the microcontroller would be programmed in C but such boards come with plenty of example programs. You can then program a host PC in VB to receive data from it.
