Paul,
With Winforms, there is in my opinion a big difference between classic VBx
and VBNet.
With Webform that is certainly in the beginning less.
However, VBNet is for server side not client side. You would have to use
JxxScript or VBA for client side in future as well. (In addition, in my
opinion is the best for the clientside is JavaScript all was it alone
because you can find tons of samples for that on Internet).
A way to go to come from ASP to ASPX.
Make the few needed changes to an ASP page too run it as ASPX.
Take out all inline VBA server side code and set it in special paragraphs in
a true ASPX VBNet way.
And than, take out the Server Side code and bring it to ASPX.vb paragraphs
in a DLL way.
VBNet or C#. When you was a web programmer you would not see it, C# is just
writing JavaScript with more and less possibilities. VBNet is that in the
same way but than with VBA.
Because you said you are not, I would choose for VBNet even when it was only
of the facts that with C# you will have in the beginning everytime case
sensitive and equal operator (which is in C derived languages ==) problems.
For the start you can have a look at this pages, however in my opinion goes
this mostly from the first and second step I describe above.

And than there is of course this one that does the thirth step as well
http://msdn.microsoft.com/asp.net/asprk/
Just my thought,
