Parallel Port IO under VB.net 2008 Express and Vista

I am working with the latest (as of March 2008) version of MS VB 2008
Express and I am looking for some code examples to write to the
parallel port. Basically turning pins off and on. I see many posts on
the subject but I havent come across anything talking about it with
Vista.
Has anyone had any experience with parallel port control under Vista?
If you have and have some good code or links can you please share
them?

Thanks
Scott
