Notification to Flash on taskbar in Vb.net

Help!  I keep seeing this in various applications, ie SQL Server but i don't know how to do it!How do you get an application to give a notification to the windows operating system to flash on the taskbar if a application has not got focus in VB.net.

If you call YourForm.Activate() the titlebar and taskbar button should flash if the user is working with another application. If you want to explicitly cause the flashing, you can call the FlashWindow[Ex] Win32 API.
