Hi,
Is there a way to look up a mapped drive letter's share name using VB.NET?
I'd like to get \\server\share from O:\
I'm pretty sure it can be done by looking it up in the registry or using
WMI, but I'm wondering if there's an easier way.
Thanks!

Hi,
You can use the following API
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)
