I am require to get input from user and store it and transfer the input to PIC through USB port. Hence i need to create a GUI to take input from user? And actually how am i connect the stored data from user's input to the PIC?

When you get your user input data from the Visual Basic program, then write it out to a serial port. But the serial port will not be a real serial port. It will be the PIC and its USB port emulating a serial port to the Windows operating system. Look for sample code on the Microchip website for making the PIC into a serial port USB device.

That means i need to use visual basic to write all the program? or i need to separate it out? for e.g., i get input from user using visual basic, then using mplab to write the output from the visual basic to a serial port and to usb?

No, you use Visual Basic to write all the program that runs in the Windows computer. But then you have to program the PIC separately. Use MPLAB or some PIC-C compiler to write the program in the PIC. See the Microchip website for examples of the PIC portions of the program.
