Mapping network drives - C# / C Sharp

Jefferson Cowart

I am having a hard time figuring out how to map a network share to a local drive letter. I know I could use the command shell program, but I would prefer not to if i can avoid it. Any suggestions?

Shell command will be the easy way to do.

Other option is use access functions in "mpr.dll" using DllImport.
