First of all, this post does not define what is "create and application from a Website". There is no such notion with any predefined meaning.
I never heard that Google Chrome created "application from a Web site". If you think it does, please give us a link.
Maybe you mean something else, such as "create a Web site which creates applications" (of some kind), or something else.

Goto the top right corner, go to more tools, then click create application shortcuts. I want to do that in vb.net

Chrome's Application short-cut just makes a Desktop icon with a link to the website's URL. In this case: How do I create an application from a website in vb.net[^]

It is not an application. When you click the icon Windows will read the URL and start the webpage in your default browser.

Chrome does have an API/devtools for making extensions etc

...maybe that's what you are after?

No, it does not. Chrome does not create any applications, as I told you in first place. This is your weird fantasy. Try to do it with Chrome to see what it really does. It's not yet a time to write any applications.

Nevertheless, you can read about the programming topic. Please see, for example: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4897655/create-shortcut-on-desktop-c-sharp[^].
