    Are you using VB.NET 2002 or 2003+? If it's 2002 then you're out of luck as it doesn't exist. If it's 2003 or later then it's sitting in your Toolbox already. You can add it to a form or create one in code without further qualification, as it's a member of the System.Windows.Forms namespace which is imported into WinForms projects by default. If you are using 2002 you can create your own without too much effort. RobDog888 has posted some code somewhere for just that and there's an MSDN article that does the same thing I think, which I've linked to somewhere in the forums. A search should turn up something useful.
