ATTN: C# Wizards

I'm trying to implement GZIP decompression for communication with a BitTorrent tracker using HttpWebRequest... Unfortunately the only examples I could find are in C#. I already have a great library for GZIP compression and I'm wondering how I can override the HttpWebRequest properties in VB.NET so that I can add my own headers, and overriding the GetResponseStream method of the WebResponse class to check for compression and handle it accordingly. Does anyone have any documentation on how to create proxy classes and override methods and properties in VB.NET?

PLEASE help, I could really use this to finish up my app.

Thanks,
