I am having some problem during convert below code from VB to VB.NET

VB

Dim LCID As Integer
Dim newFormat As String
LCID = GetSystemDefaultLCID()
newFormat = d1
        
Call SetLocaleInfo(LCID, LOCALE_SSHORTDATE, newFormat)
Call PostMessage(HWND_BROADCAST, WM_SETTINGCHANGE, 0, 0)

Call EnumDateFormats(AddressOf EnumCalendarDateProc,LCID,DATE_SHORTDATE)

But it gives error in addressof syntax.

How can I represent AddressOf syntax in
Call EnumDateFormats(AddressOf EnumCalendarDateProc, LCID,DATE_SHORTDATE) when converting VB application to VB.NET

You're trying to call Windows API methods that aren't directly accessible from .Net.

You need to import the System.Runtime.InteropServices and learn about Invoke. Go to tis site for windows API prototypes for .Net:

pinvoke.net[^]

They have both VB and C# examples for most functions.
