I am lost in this subject, I don't know if someone could guide me to connect visual basic .net to autodesk inventor.

Here is a few links I put together for another post with similar question. I'm new to Visual studio as well. Installed it at the weekend.

Here is a few link to tutorials also on just changing parameters in inventor. Search winforms and inventor. Link1 and link2 You will have to declare and access objects slightly different than the ilogic environment so pay attention to getting the inventor application at the beginning. The main thing to do first is to reference the inventor dll so you can get access to inventor objects when writing and testing. If you can place a few images of errors your getting then users can guide you though the process.

You can have a look at my project. There most settings are already done.

And if you want to create an addin then you can also have a look at my blog post "creating an Inventor addin"
