Hmmm ... your code looks fine to me, but I'm no VB.NET expert. I plugged the C# equivalent into the C#-to-VB converters and got two different results for the Set, but I have no clue if it matters, VB-wise, or not:

'Kamal's converter had this for the Set
Set (ByVal Value As String)
  mcText = Value
End Set

'AspAlliance's converter had this
Set
  mcText = value
End Set
