The syntax and operation is very similar, but visual basic isn't as powerful. Think of it as a watered down, easier version of c. With C, you can create anything from a simple calculator application to a full blown operating system. Visual basic can't make anything as extensive as an operating system, but it is much faster to code in visual basic when you want to make form based programs, or applications.
The programming language: Visual Basic is a BASIC-like (or BASIC-derived) language, Visual C is... well C.

I believe visual studio is the user interface, and it not only supports visual basic but also visual c++, c#, web development etc. Visual basic, on the other hand, is a programming language.

No but you can in C or C++
Visual studio 2010 supports 5 programming languages. These are Visual Basic, Visual C#, Visual C++, Visual F# and JScript.
Visual Basic 1.0 is copyright (c) 1991 Microsoft Corporation, if that's any help. VISUAL BASIC was invented in 1991

If you are a student, you can download Visual Studio 2008 atwww.dreamspark.com. This is a Microsoft site. You must be able to verify that you are a student. There is other programming software available also. VS 2008 has Visual Basic 2008, C #, C/C++, and more. If you are not a student, I don't know of anyplace you can get Visual Basic 2008 free.
You can't integrate C++ source code directly into Visual Basic code. In order to make use of code written in another language, including C++, you must compile that source to produce a DLL. You can then link to that DLL via Visual Basic. The only caveat is that you must replace the C++ data types in the function declarations with the equivalent Visual Basic data types, such as 'Byte' for a C++ unsigned char, or 'Single' for a C++ float.
