In VB6, you can use the Sysinfo class to determine the WorkareaHeight, Top, Left and Width. Does anyone know how to get this information using VB.Net?

I think its as easy as

Dim width As Integer = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Width
Dim height As Integer = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Height

Using Screen.PrimaryScreen.Height will include the taskbar area. If you want the true working area use:
Code: 
MessageBox.Show(SystemInformation.WorkingArea.ToString())
