I am currently attempting to port several legacy apps to VB.Net. One thing I am finding is the use of 'As Any' which will not upgrade, often it is easy enough to replace with a specific type, but almost as often it's not, and nothing seems to work as a replacement.
Can anyone give me any pointers I could try here?

That's impossible to say without knowing the declares. You can look for
the function's name in the platform SDK documentation to see the
datatype that is expected, but you will need to translate that to VB.NET
correctly.

Check out http://www.pinvoke.net/ to see if someone else has already
defined the proper types for the API call you need.
