Turn off Monitor using VB

The last time I did this was back in Visual Basic 6. Now I am using VB.NET
2005.

When I use my code now, it turns off the monitor just fine. However when I
move my mouse the monitor comes back on.
Back in VB6, I was able to turn off the monitor and it wouldn't come back on
until I issued the API command to turn in back on regardless of mouse
movement.
How do I accomplish this in VB.NET?

Thanks for any help in advance,
Micah Hastings

I would think you'd need the same API from VB .NET.
