Read Memory of a program

I am trying to make a dps meter for a game, and basically would like to know how to read the memory fields (NOT WRITE).

This can be done in VB(Preffered), but I am also semi useful with C# so it can be done in that as well.

Does anyone have a snippet, or is there a free control that does this for me?

Thanks in advance.

I quickly searched my code snippets for this but I might have lost it. Dig deep in google, I know it exists, I've seen it(and had it at one time).
