Hey, Ty. I'm glad to have you on board, because I'm 61 & you need to take my place! I just tried to open an exe with VB Express 2005. It opens but just gives you nerdie stuff: no clue of the original code. You can try it yourself: the exe is buried under the project\bin\debug directory. The reason that it shows you so little is that it has been transformed into an intermediate language. You will have to have the original source to change it.
If you want to know more try to find the Wrox book
Professional .NET Framework 2.0 by Joe Duffy at the library. He explains in his book that Managed Code, any high-level NET language like VB or C#, is compiled into an Assembly (Metadata plus an executable written in Intermediate Language) which is taken by the CLR (Common Language Runtime) and compiled into executable code through a process called just-in-time (JIT) compilation.
