First of all, what's wrong with just shipping an extra DLL? So long as you don't use the registry and rely instead on .config files (which is what you're supposed to do), you don't have to worry about elaborate installations, hence the "xcopy" deployment term, describing .NET's touchless deployment capabilities.

Second, don't embed it as a resource. If you mean VB.NET (instead of VB), there is a way to do it and handle AppDomain.AssemblyResolve but this is a HUGE waste of time and just isn't proper.

You can also compile two modules compiled from different source languages like C# and VB.NET and merge them into a single assembly. Compile one or the other using the target "module". I would recommend that you do this for the VB.NET project. Then, when you compile the other app into an assembly, you use /addmodule to reference the other module and link it into the assembly:
// Compile the VB.NET project to a module
vbc.exe /t:module /out:Plugin.dll *.vb 
// Compile the C# project to an assembly and link the previous module
csc.exe /t:exe /addmodule:Plugin.dll /out:App.exe *.cs
See the compiler documentation or type "csc.exe /?" or "vbc.exe /?" to see more information.

Seriously, though, you'd gain a lot more flexibility by having your exe and dll separate, especially if you want to include more plugins through a .config file. There are several articles here on CP about plug-in architectures. Try a search[^] for examples.
