[dba-VB] VB.Net - System.IO.Stream

I am working with a library that wants a stream passed in.  NOT a
StreamReader, a plain old stream.  According to the docs, Stream is supposed
to be a member of System.IO but it does not appear to be.  According to
Microsoft's docs, Stream is supposed to be the base class and is supposed to
be accessible.  I cannot get at it.

Does anyone know how to reference System.IO.Stream?
