WMI in VB.Net to Create Printer Ports

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi All,

I am trying to use the system.management class in .NET to create a printer
port on a remote server. I know that the following code is what is used with
VBScript:

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set objNewPort = objWMIService.Get _
("Win32_TCPIPPrinterPort").SpawnInstance_

objNewPort.Name = "IP_169.254.110.14"
objNewPort.Protocol = 1
objNewPort.HostAddress = "169.254.110.14"
objNewPort.PortNumber = "9999"
objNewPort.SNMPEnabled = False
objNewPort.Put_

But I cannot find any information on how to achieve the same thing in
VB.NET. Can some please help me as it is driving me mad!?

Thanks in advance.
