The VB version of the Flip Task Bar for Vista Desktop Window Manager

In this post: Create your own Flip Task Bar with live thumbnails using Vista Desktop Window Manager DWM, I showed Fox code on creating your own Flip Task bar

Here is the VB.Net version that does the same thing…

File->New->Project->Visual Basic->Windows->Windows Forms Application

View->Code

Paste and run the code below.
