Not sure about E/F and I think it's part of .net, so I'm not sure you need approval.
That being said, the closest to updatable cursors in VB.net are datatables. In fact it it's the closest I can think of to recordsets in ado. Not sure (again!) what you mean by "cursors that need to be updated between each questions displayed". As far as I know you cannot use dt in sql's like you could cursors; but you can Linq (good luck with that :) ). And you can (I think) bind datatables to datagridviews.
Hope (doubt :)) this helps.
