Converting physical folder path to UNC

[Sidney Mark Croy]

Greetings

In VB 6.0 using WNetGetConnection Windows API you could convert a physical
drive designation to a UNC.

How do you convert a physical drive to a UNC within VB.NET?

Thank you

Hi ,
You can use the same API in .Net. Here is how it has to be declared

Private Declare Function WNetGetConnection Lib "mpr.dll" Alias _
"WNetGetConnectionA" _
(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)

WNetGetConnection("Y:", y, 100)
MsgBox(y)
