VB Decompiler

As some of you might already know, I'm rebuilding my Native code disassembler (which was based on some old code) and I was wondering if any of you know the x86 opcodes that VB compiler uses.

What I do know so far about VB decompiler:
It doesn't use all opcodes from i386+x87 instruction set.

The reason for me asking this is that I want to focus on making high level code rather than do full assembly listings. I don't want to focus my time rebuilding a full featured disassembler if I don't really need it for VB decompilation (;

Hmm, I have decided to make a full x86-x87 disassembler based on my old one and then I'll make an heuristic analysis to find out what VB uses to better debug code patterns (:

The disassembler engine is made using VB.NET (which is easily portable to C#) and I might post it for the public.
