static extern int WTSEnumerateSessions(
    IntPtr hServer,
    UInt32 Reserved, // must be 0
    UInt32 Version,  // must be 1
    ref IntPtr ppSessionInfo,
    ref UInt32 pCount
    );

VB Signature:

    <DllImport("wtsapi32.dll", _

    CallingConvention:=CallingConvention.StdCall, _
    CharSet:=CharSet.Auto, _

    ByVal Reserved As Int32, _
    <MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U4)> _
    ByVal Vesrion As Int32, _
    ByRef ppSessionInfo As IntPtr, _
    <MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U4)> _
    ByRef pCount As Int32) As Int32
    End Function

User-Defined Types:

    WTSActive
    WTSConnected
    WTSConnectQuery
    WTSShadow
    WTSDisconnected
    WTSIdle
    WTSListen
    WTSReset
