If you want to get Visual Studio, you have options -- you can either get the
full version (Visual Studio .Net Professional Edition), which also lets you
program in C#, C++ and other .Net languages, or the less-expensive VB.Net
Standard Edition.

VB.Net Standard Edition includes the Visual Studio IDE, but only lets you
code in VB and has some limitations to make it less desirable for
professional developers. It's probably fine if you just want to learn the
language, though. For more information, search groups.google.com for
"VB.Net Standard Edition."

There you will find information on the different editions, pricing and so
on.

The .NET Framework is free:

http://www.microsoft.com/netframework

You will find a link to the download of the .NET Framework SDK there.

Visual Studio .NET is an IDE for Visual Basic .NET, C# and some other
programming languages. VS.NET is a commercial product. On the other hand
there is the .NET Framework and the .NET Framework SDK, the SDK contains
tools required for developing .NET applications, but no IDE.
