User form to generate GET or POST

I need to get some simple text input from the user with a vb.net form(not
asp.net).
Using the input value I need to generate a GET or a POST to a web server.

Considering I build a vb.net form, put a few fields on it to collect the
information, then concat the string I need for the web server, how do I
submit a GET or POST from vb.net? Is there a method for this?

It may be sort of a dumb question but I don't know how to get her done.
Thanks,

Look at the System.Net.WebRequest object. There is an example in the
docs for this class would probably help you out.
