Need a way to access a network share in VB.NET

[cjinsocal581]

I need my VB.NET app to access a hidden share that is on the local network.

I then need to be able to list the folders on that hidden share.

Then, finally list the files within a selected folder using the GetFiles function.

Here is my path:
Private strPath As String = "\\10.1.1.106\cjdev$"

Now, I have been told to impersonate the credentials and I just do not know how to do that.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.


Regards,
CJ

The solution that I used was the WNetAddConnection2 and WNetCancelConnection2 API calls.

WNetAddConnection2:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wnet/wnet/wnetaddconnection2.asp

WNetCancelConnection2:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...net/wnet/wnetcancelconnection2.asp?frame=true

These API calls will create a network connection just like when you issue a net use from the command prompt or when you access a share and are prompted for a username and password by windows.
