In your sample ('InternetQueryOption') you should remove the '&' character.
The type of the first parameter is 'IntPtr', and you can pass 'IntPtr.Zero'
to the function.

I wouldn't use IntPtr.Zero, but convert it to an Integer because all the
first parameter is is a handle in which to query

I'd change the type of the 'hInternet' parameter to 'IntPtr' and use
'IntPtr.Zero' instead of 0. Handles are typically declared as 'IntPtr'.
