You need to get yourself a copy of an Assembler that will convert this into object code and link it into an executable program. You can do it with Microsoft's C++ compiler but I'm not sure about VB. Try Visual C++ Express[^] or Google for "assembler".

i don't know visual c++. and if you are asking my if i have an asm compiler, i have flat assembler. i just want a code that could run assembly in visual basic. or if necessary, how to run bin files. and if so, how do i make bin files. is it assembly code?

Like I said, I don't know how you could do this in VB or even VB.NET; I would suggest a Google search. If you already have an assembler then I presume you also have some documentation which should explain how to create an executable from assembler source.

the reason i am asking this is because i am making a virtual machine, something similar to virtual box. it opens up the asm file and runs the code it gives you. or, i would like to make an operating system in c#, and since c# and visual basic are so similar, i would ask in visual basic and be able to understand it better, then translate it into c# when i know how to do it.

Take a look at some of these articles for guidance.
