Map and Disconnect a Network Drive using .NET?

Dear all,

I need to map a network drive at run-time then disconnect it after use. The
only way I know and I am using is creating a Process to call the shell
command 'net use'. It has no problem in connecting, but however, I failed to
remove the connection after use by calling the 'net use /delete' when the
user is opening a explorer and connected to the drive.

Can anyone tell me how to FORCE to disconnect a network drive? Or tell me a
better way to connect network drive rather than using 'net use'?

Thanks for any help.

I get an error saying the specific table cannot be found. If i manually open the mapped...

Hi All, I am trying to access a mapped network drive from a service that I have created. The service needs to create/delete folders/files on a network drive.

From the client, double-click on the ..exe (on the network drive, on the server) and it runs fine. So far, so good, but... On the server, where I've installed not VB.NET but .NET
