Don't be so sure that buffer overflows won't work; a lot of VB applications rely on DLLs and other such goodies that are written in C++. I've seen many cases where they had a VB coder do most of the app (because they are cheaper to pay), only to farm out specific sections to a C++ coder because the functionality in VB wasn't there. In many ways, if you have the VB source code, it should be easy to check for buffer overflows in and external components because you'll have the layout of the data that gets passed back and forth laid out for you in the code.
