I have a vb.net application written for PDA's.
Is it possible to write a VB.net application for a Blackberry?

A:
No. The Blackberry uses Java, either to standard J2ME or to RIM's own APIs.
See their getting started pages.
The very old Mobitex pagers used C++, but again, no VB.net support.

I've programmed for the BlackBerry using their custom API and Java and (hardly any) J2ME. It was a huge mess, especially when they didn't have a plugin for Eclipse at the time. Recently they did release an Eclipse plugin which should make life much easier.
VB.NET is not officially supported though, sorry.

Actually, you can. There is a product called CrossFire which was produced by a company called AppForge which is now defunct. However, there are several articles on how to use it. Oracle purchased the rights, I believe. I don't think anyone is selling it. The product definitely works. I don't know why the company went defunct.
Nevertheless, I believe the latest version of CrossFire was 6.0. It is sad that you cannot buy it anywhere. However, this would probably solve your needs. Let's just say you can probably find it and it might be 58MB. :)

Blackberry development is hellish enough without using another potentially-buggy product on top.
