For single application session:
Keep a class level integer that holds number of tries. On each failure increase this number by 1. When 3 tries are over, lock the account in database and add a condition do display appropriate message.

For multi-session:

On each failure, update failed attempts in database for the user. If this number goes above 3, display account locked message.

Update: Here is an outline on how to implement this. It is in C# but logic remains same in VB as well.

In single application session:

C#

private int _failedAttempts;

        protected void LoginButtonClick(object sender, EventArgs e) {

            // Try user login here

            if (success)
            {
                // process ahead
            }
            else {
                _failedAttempts++;
            }

            if (_failedAttempts == 3) {

                // Update database for this user. Set account locked out.

                MessageBox.Show("Your account has been locked out.");
            }

        }

Multiple session:

C#

private int _failedAttempts;

protected void LoginButtonClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

    // User table should have a failed attempt count field.

    // Check if value of that field is 3
    if (valueIs3)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("Your account has been locked out.");
    }
    else
    {
        // Try user login here

        if (success)
        {
            // set failed attempt field value as 0

            // process ahead
        }
        else
        {
            _failedAttempts = failedAttemptCountValueFromDatabase;
            // add one to failed attempts field

            _failedAttempts++;
        }

        if (_failedAttempts == 3)
        {

            // Update database for this user. Set account locked out.

            MessageBox.Show("Your account has been locked out.");
        }
    }

}
