    'Accepts two parameters - the username and password for the email client
    Dim credentials As New System.Net.NetworkCredential("test@test.net", "test")

    smtpClient.Credentials = credentials
    Dim body, link As String

    link = "http://localhost:" & partUrl & "/test.aspx?autoNum=" & autoNum
    body = "Test email." & "<br/><br/>"

    body += link

    Dim email As New MailMessage
    email.From = New MailAddress("test@test.net")
    email.Body = body
    email.Subject = "test Change/Request Password"
    email.To.Add(New MailAddress(toAddress))

    smtpClient.Send(email)

You will need to enclose it in a tags.

link = "<a href=""http://localhost:" & partUrl & "/test.aspx?autoNum=" & autoNum & """>Click here</a>"

And you need to set

email.IsBodyHtml = true

Try this:

link = "<a href=""http://localhost:" & partUrl & "/test.aspx?autoNum=" & autoNum & """>Link</a>"
body = "Test email." & "<br/><br/>"
body += link

The idea (I can't test it now, sorry) is you have to add not the url itself, but the HTML code used to create link.
Remember to set mail body to html with email.IsBodyHtml = True

I believe you need to set

IsBodyHtml = True

Then you can use plain HTML in the body of the e-mail. It's still up to the mail client to display it correctly. I've had a few cases where valid HTML that looked create in my browser was messy in my e-mail.

You haven't identified the body as HTML.

Add:

email.IsBodyHtml = true
