I have to do this often – and my biggest hang-up is the semi-colon. Never fails that my first few days of writing VB after a longer stint of C# coding, the VB compiler is always barking at me for putting a semi-colon on every line of VB code.
Other than that, it shouldn’t be too painful. If you’re fluent in C#, moving to VB might be stressful for the first few days, but after that you should be smooth sailing.
Code converter tools come in handy to help you remember/learn/re-learn all of those odd syntax differences that you forget easily. The one I normally turn to first is http://converter.telerik.com/ – and if that won’t do the trick, a quick google search for code converters will turn up a handful of other good ones.
Another pain point that I’ve had in the past too is Snippets. Snippets in C# rock – but in VB rock a bit less. Get to know the differences between those and life will be much easier. (Come on VB team – get that enter key working like the C# snippet team has it…)
