2. how do i make a call on skype through vb,net?

Answer 1

Skype provides a COM API that can be used from VB.NET. For more info on using COM from VB.NET see:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/x66s8zcd.aspx

The Skype API documentation can be found at:

https://developer.skype.com/Docs/ApiDoc

And, although not in VB.NET there is good example of how to use the Skype API in the SEHE AKA Skype Event Handler Example. It is written in C#, but the same principles apply to VB.NET, just slightly different syntax.

Answer 2

This is in C# but its easy enough to convert to VB using the Skype API
