The answer is "use WinLIRC".  That's exactly what WinLIRC does; it's
sole purpose in life is to interpret the data coming over the serial
port.  It's not a trivial thing to do, and there's no reason for you
to reimplement it.  Instead, you should just run WinLIRC, and let your
VB application connect to WinLIRC and read the commands from there.  See
    http://winlirc.sourceforge.net/developer.html
for details on how to interface with WinLIRC, with
    http://winlirc.sourceforge.net/vb.html
giving a specific example of how to do it from Visual Basic.
