For the authentication issues, I'm assuming that you're wanting to use 
SNMP v3 with some type of encryption. For info on that, you can check 
the documentation at http://www.net-snmp.org/wiki/index.php/Vacm for 
setting up SNMP v3 access.

As to writing a new system in VB or C#: why?? The snmpset command - 
which would be built with the libraries - should be able to do 
everything you just described from a simple batch script. Look at the 
tutorial for snmpset here: 
http://www.net-snmp.org/wiki/index.php/TUT:snmpset to see if that would 
do it for you.

The wiki is the place to start, really.
