Most likely, you have downloaded VB.NET 2005 Express Edition, and the sample
code provided to you is for VB 6.0. There are a few changes to be made to
that code to make it work with 2005, however while it will work, it is not
the recommended way to code it. Microsoft has several tutorials for
beginners on the website very near where you downloaded VB.Net Express 2005.
These will help you more than anything I can tell you.
