Siemens S7-300 drivers

Hi all
is there a package available out there to be able to get data from a S7-300 PLC using visual basic.net
I would like to use this for a display only to show a machine performance on a stand alone application
i.e. machine speed, thermocouple temps etc.
I am not looking for writing values into the registers from a PC screen.
Scada packages make this application far too expensive as I would like to only see values and not write / change them
thanks guys
