Can you send a spacebar key in vb.net?

[Soredavide]

I am trying to send the spacebar key to a flash object, this was very easy in VB6. I have tried SendKeys.Send(Keys.Space), SendKeys.Send(" ") and SendKeys.Send("{SPACE}"). I am not sure why they are not working, does anybody know how to send the spacebar key in vb.net.

The code used in vb6 was SendScanKey VkKeyScan(Asc(" ")).

I am trying to get the next round to start automatically in typing terror.
