Flying through space effect

Hi,

I'm sure you have all seen those flying through space effects where lots of little white dots which are meant to be stars are coming toward the screen and then vanish? Well is there anybody who knows how to create this effect in Visual Basic? It has been bugging be for a long time!

Thanks

If you go to http://www.planet-source-code.com and do a search on "star" you will find examples of how it's done.
