you class should be structured like this

VB

imports system.data
'other imports here

public class SomeClass
  public sub SomeRoutine
  end sub
end class

i.e.

VB

public sub BackUpDB
  Try
   Dim db As New Database
   db = srv.Databases("My_WorkDB")
   Dim bdi As BackupDeviceItem
   bdi = New BackupDeviceItem("C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1\MSSQL\Backup\My_WorkDB.bak", DeviceType.File)
   'Define a Restore object variable.
   Dim rs As Restore
   rs = New Restore
   rs.NoRecovery = RestoreActionType.Database
   ' rs.ReplaceDatabase = True
   'rs.NoRecovery = True
   rs.Devices.Add(bdi)
   rs.Database = "My_WorkDB"
   rs.SqlRestore(srv)
   'Remove the device from the Restore object.
   rs.Devices.Remove(bdi)
   srv.Databases("My_WorkDB").DatabaseOptions.RecoveryModel = RecoveryModel.Full
   Catch ex As Exception
   End Try
sqlConn.Close()
end sub
