md5 is 128 bit so you would need to use BigInteger 

Dim str = "Test"
Dim md5 = System.Security.Cryptography.MD5.Create()
Dim hash = md5.ComputeHash(System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(str))
Dim i = New System.Numerics.BigInteger(hash)

And apply a modulus operation

Dim result = i Mod 90329434 'Returns 30719684
