Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] General "Noob" Questions

Hello,
I am currently endeavoring to modify/create a Wireshark dissector. I am going to develop on Windows. I have followed the instructions at http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChSetupWin32.html successfully. My questions are: where do I go from here? I have programming experience with Java and vb.net, using BlueJ and Visual Studio respectively. It's the jump of getting the Wireshark code into an editable form that I am stuck at. What development software would you recommend if not Visual Studio, or how do I open/import it into Visual Studio? I apologize for these stupid questions, and the ones I will undoubtedly ask when I actually start coding.
