WNetCancelConnection2 failure

[AdrianDev]

Hi,

I hope this is the right forum.
From a console application running on a Windows 2003 server I have sucessfully added a connection using WNetAddConnection2 to a remote servers $IPC share.

But calling WNetCancelConnection2 using the share name fails with 2250: The network connection could not be found.

Moreover, when I run "net use" from a command prompt I can see ithe IPC share that was created is OKAY ??
Any idea what is going wrong?
Thanks in advance,

[Mattias Sjögren]

The P/Invoke declaration is wrong, you are passing a Unicode string to
an Ansi function. Remove the MarshalAs attribute for the lpName
argument:

[DllImport("mpr.dll", CharSet=CharSet.Auto)]
extern static int WNetCancelConnection2(
string lpName,
int dwFlags,
int fForce
);

You'll also get into trouble with the declaration for
NetUserSetInfo(), the last argument requires the "ref" keyword.
