Something like:

Dim dtToday As DateTime = DateTime.Now
Dim dtMonday As DateTime = dtToday.AddDays(1-dtToday.DayOfWeek)

    -or (more verbosely) -

Dim dtToday As DateTime
Dim dtMonday As DateTime

dtToday = DateTime.Now()
dtMonday = dtToday.AddDays(1-dtToday.DayOfWeek)

Note that there are some slight syntactic differences between VB.NET and C#, 
but the manipulation of the DateTime type is exactly the same.
