500 POINTS, Please help me as soon as possible.

I asked this question, but I must say that I'm not satisfied with the answer.
How to record from Microphone ~~>Save in to file and process.
Buy component, look Example CaptureSound, and another solution that too old, required directx7 or too difficult Solution,
I"m not an experts at all.

The best answer is that: if you can modify this code?  It seems work, but it automatically save this file in "C:\test.wav"
Can't here anything. Please help me. If this code is good, I can easily use this by call. "MyVar.StartRecord()" for example.
Please checked it carefully for me?
Thanks a lot.

Here is the code:

OK, My purpose is very simple.
Instead of chosing a lot of choice to record.
I just want to record:
- from Microphone
-44100,16bit,stereo
-saved to "c:\test.wav"

please help me.

Oh, I'm doing with it, But I don't want all the Form, What I need is not a form, It has 2 button:
StartRecording and StopRecording(and save file in C:\test.wav) - 44100,16bit,stereo.
To read all code and translate is too difficult for me. I've just learn VB and need it to do my work. That's all.
Please help me.
