Very nice, although I would have to recommend that you use procedures. 

You may not be doing that in your class(if you're taking one) but they are really important for saving space, time and making your code/filesize smaller. and looking at your code you did a lot or repitition that could have been avoided.

I learned how to use procedures long before my class had finished learning how to do Draw.FillOval(), trust me, the earlyer you learn the better.

Not bad of a program, but like the others said, you really should include some procedures in your program.  The other thing is the movement.  You can't press more than one key, and you can avoid this by using Input.KeyDown, and there's a nice tutorial [url=http://www.compsci.ca/v2/viewtopic.php?t=114&highlight=input+keydown]here.

Hey, welcome to compsci.ca

First of all, instead of posting twice, just click on the "edit" button in the top left corner of your previous post, and you can add things to a previous post.

Now that thats out of the way, there are two ways to make it fire more than one laser, the bad way, and the good way.

Bad way, make like 10 variables named laser1,laser2,laser3, etc...
DONT DO THIS, LEARN ARRAYS

Good way: Arrays.  Theres a nice tutorial Here:
http://www.compsci.ca/v2/viewtopic.php?t=366

To post it in an exe, click on the run menu (not the run button) and select "create stand alone program".  Before you do this though, stop and think.  Do you want people focusing entirely on your game, or do you want to give them something else to criticize? (Sorry, its gonna happen unless your name is catalyst :P)  

If the answer to the above question is yes, then post the source code instead well.  This will allow you to learn more about the programming concepts, and not about how to make your game look more pretty. (though if thats what you want, by all means post it in applications)

One more thing before you post it: Zip it (Or rar, or whatever else there is).  This means wait until you get home to post it, so that you don't use up the bandwidth, and so the users with dialup don't have to wait for a 600 MB file to download.

Anyways, nice work with the program, and keep up the good work.
