But again, if you just declare this as the API Viewer declares it, with
everything as Long:

Private Declare Function ExitWindowsEx Lib "user32.dll" Alias
"ExitWindowsEx" ( _
ByVal uFlags As Long, ByVal dwReserved As Long _
) As Long

It will work just as good.

No, it won't work in VB.NET.
As I said, Long and Int32 are *equivalent*

No, they aren't. 'Long' maps to 'Int64' and thus the code will break.
as far as API Declares go because they are both 32 bits wide on 32-bit
versions of Windows.

No, 'Long' is 64 bits wide on both 32-bit and 64-bit systems.
As for Boolean and Long in the return values, it
actually doesn't matter if they are two different sizes

Sure, it matters. 'BOOL' is a 32-bit type and thus maps perfectly to
'Boolean' and/or 'Int32'.

Oops. That was stupid of me. You're right, of course. I managed to mix
up the VB.NET and VB6 definitions of 'Long' throughout this thread ;-)
