How can I change a main menu's colour ?

Taken from a post by Joachim Fuchs:

\\\
private void menuItem1_DrawItem(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.DrawItemEventArgs e)
{
System.Drawing.Drawing2D.LinearGradientBrush brush =
new System.Drawing.Drawing2D.LinearGradientBrush(new Point(0,0), new Point(1300,0), Color.DarkGreen, Color.White);
e.Graphics.FillRectangle(brush, e.Bounds.Left, e.Bounds.Top, 1300, e.Bounds.Height);
brush.Dispose();
}
///

I need the code for VB. This is for (i think) c#.
anyone who can translate or know how to change the menucolour to vb.
private void menuItem1_DrawItem(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.DrawItemEventArgs e)
{
System.Drawing.Drawing2D.LinearGradientBrush brush =
new System.Drawing.Drawing2D.LinearGradientBrush(new Point(0,0), new Point(1300,0), Color.DarkGreen, Color.White);
e.Graphics.FillRectangle(brush, e.Bounds.Left, e.Bounds.Top, 1300, e.Bounds.Height);
brush.Dispose();
}

I have added a dummy menuitem (with no function and text) to the mainmenu and use the codes to handle it and draw the mainmenu with colour.
But the other menu items in the mainmenu are disappeared until mouse over and they are in grey. How to solve it?

Thanks!
