Sorry for the C# code if you like vb.

private static string GetLastLine( string filename )
{
System.IO.StreamReader reader = null;

try
{
new StreamReader( filename );

reader.BaseStream.Position = reader.BaseStream.Length - 1;

while ( ( char ) reader.BaseStream.ReadByte() != '\n' )
reader.BaseStream.Position -= 2;

return reader.ReadLine();

}
finally
{
reader.Close();
}
}
