WMI call not executing in VB.Net

Tags: wmi, from, win32_computersystem
I am building a small application that retrieves system information via WMI.  My VBScript works fine, however, the VB.Net code does not execute.  Further, I get an "Unspecified Error" when I try to trap the error to find out what it is.  Below is the troublesome code:

**********************

 Function getinfo()
        On Error GoTo Errhand
        Dim objWMIService As Object
        Dim colItems As Object
        Dim objItem As Object
        Dim strComputer As String = txtServerName.Text

        objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
        colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_ComputerSystem", , 48)
        For Each objItem In colItems
            MsgBox("Name: " & objItem.Name)
        Next

Errhand:
        MsgBox(Err.Number & " " & Err.Description)
    End Function

**********************

I am referencing System.Management with Imports System.Management.  

Can someone give me a bit of assistance with this?

Thanks,

IPT
