Enumerating Network Shares

Does anyone have any sample code on enumerating network shares with vb.net.
I here you need to use wither an API or WMI, or are there other
recomendations.

Thanks

If you know the drive letters you could use the following API. Otherwise
you would have to use the WNetEnumResourc e API call.
anand

Private Declare Function WNetGetConnecti on Lib "mpr.dll" Alias _
"WNetGetConnect ionA" _
(ByVal lpszLocalName As String, _
ByVal lpszRemoteName As String, _
ByRef cbRemoteName As Int32) As Int32
Then use the following code to call this API
Dim y As String
y = Space(100)

WNetGetConnecti on("Y:", y, 100)
MsgBox(y)

Hi all, After a lot of research, I've come to some realizations about enumerating Named Instances of MSDE. NetServerEnum() Win32 API function doesn't work, SQL-DMO doesn't work, no standard routines seem to work. SQL-DMO is by far the most robust solution - since it calls NetServerEnum() first, and subsequently sends out a broadcast on Port 1433 to locate all SQL Servers on the network. This does pick up all default instances (as long...

Hi How can i look for network share folders and copy a text file to it? I've been looking into how i can do this in the documention but with no luck. I found a little on of the web but i dont understand it, it seems to import mpr.dll and make the use of c++ calls. Can this be just done by c#? If so how? Jamie C

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
