You can also try this

Private Sub Form1_MouseClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles Me.MouseClick
     TextBox1.Text = e.Location.ToString()
End Sub

I would not advise

Private Sub Form1_MouseClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles Me.MouseClick
     TextBox1.Text = MousePosition().ToString()
End Sub

because it may change after you first click down on the button because you moved your mouse. So its always better if you are doing a calculation to assign the location to a variable or in e.location case it is already a separate variable that doesn't change. This is also why it is a better choice than MousePosition since mouseposition will constantly change while its in this click function rather then e.location will remain the same till it leaves the mouseclick event.
