I am working on writing my own RPG game but I have a problem with character movement.

Lets say I want to move my character to the right so I hold down the right arrow key. Well the problem is, the repeat rate of the keyboard is to fast so my characters movement isn't smooth (the movement loop repeats to fast so my character slows down). If I change the repeat rate manually on my computer to lower then it works great.

I know there are ways to change the repeat rate in VB5/6 but is there a way to change it in .net?

I'd recommend creating an array of flags for the keys; when the KeyDown event fires, set that key's flag. When the KeyUp event fires, unset it. When you update your character's position, check the key flags to see which way to move him and keep track of ticks to move him by a consistent amount per tick. This will give you time-based movement, relatively independent from machine specs.
