Invoke Shell Context Menu from VB.net?

How can I invoke the standard Windows Shell Context menu for a file or
folder from vb.net? I have a treeview with nodes in it representing
files and folders, as in windows explorer and when I right-click on a
node I would like to call the usual context menu that you get in
explorer. I have found lots of articles on the web detailing how to
add items to the context menu for explorer, but not how to access it
from VB.net
