Is there any way to get the IRQ of hardware devices through a VB.NET program
using Windows API?.

AFAIK, there is no published API for this (neither high nor low-level).

BTW, here are a couple of links that will give you an idea about what might
be involved in the process:

Also, there is a new Discovery API function in Windows Vista.
