anyone know if these are available?
I think that this:
iText.NET VB Examples
is the closest you're likely to find in VB.NET.
There's also this:
using iTextSharp. NET Form in PDF output
which isn't a complete tutorial, but does give an overview of using iTextSharp in VB.NET, although I'm not sure how useful that link will be to you since the site is originally in Japanese. (The link I've provided uses Google Translate to translate most of the text to English).

I want to get ISP from GeoIPISP.dat file using vb.net windows application.
They do not have any vb.net documentation listed on their site. They do however have C# examples.
Try referencing their documentation here:
http://maxmind.github.io/GeoIP2-dotnet/
You could also use http://converter.telerik.com/ to convert pieces over to VB.net as needed.
I'm having a number of issues, and the current one is overcoming a security exception when using iTextSharp.

To which I was directed following this question I posted yesterday:
Displaying a bar code with iTextSharp using Chris Love's Barcode Handler (2 part)
Seems to be what is required to overcome my problem. But I have searched and searched and cannot find a definitive and simple answer to the question "How do I compile a DLL"
So, having made the suggested modification to iTextSharp, I need to make it into a single DLL.
I have absolutely no idea how to do this, despite an hour of Googling!
I'm using Visual Web Developer 2010 Express. Which according to my searches does not have any built in capability to do this. So... how do I?!
Do I NEED to download Visual Web Developer Pro? I can surely download the free trial and use that, but going forward, I don't especially want to have to download a pay-for program to do this as it's a rare occurrence for my needs.
I need to read data inside a PDF file in an ASP page.
I will need convert the file to another format or is there another way to do this?
Thanks in advance.
You will need to either have a text file or a COM library that can understand PDF files, such as http://www.asppdf.com/ (result from Google search, this is not a product recommendation, only an example).
Amyuni PDF Creator ActiveX fits this scenario if a commercial library is an option for you. You can find examples for Visual Basic here.

I would like to know on how wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/) creates PDF? It seem to be using some application at the back-end. Could anyone please let me know on how this is done?
Thanks

Wikipedia runs Mediawiki.
A Google check tells me that they have two PDF extensions.
This one is the one who's still mantained: PDF_Writer
It doesn't use a PHP HTML→PDF generator, (though there are some)
It actually does something trickier and more clever.
The PDF Writer uses the Python Reportlab libraries to generate PDF based on a
DOM derived from parsing mediawiki-markup using the mwlib parser.
To confirm ZJR's answer, these are the document properties:
I'm making some snippets and i want to position the cursor. I've come acros "$end$" but all examples i see are in c#. Since recently i've started programming in vb.net again and it seems $end$ isn't recognized or doesn't work here. Is there another keyword in vb to do the same?
thanks in advance.
To the best of my knowledge, no. MSDN doesn't do the best job of documenting the meta-languages of snippets so reverse engineering tends to be the best way to figure things out. Looking through all of the VB snippets I can't find any usage of $selected$ or $end$. When I insert Microsoft-created snippets in VB I also can't press enter to go to the inside of my snippets like I can in C#.
If you install SharpDevelop, it has a translator that will convert C# code to VB.NET.
Just open a .cs file and then Tools->Convert to->VB.NET
