Map Drive in VB.NET - Visual Basic .NET

Joe Stanfield

Hello
How do I bring up the standard "Map Network Drive" dialog box using VB .NET
I've seen posts that describe how to map a drive (either via API or via the 'net use' command), but I want my program to bring up the system's default "Map Network Drive" dialog box (that the user would see if they clicked "Tools/Map Network Drive" in Explorer)

Thanks in advance for your guidance
Joe.

Public Sub DisplayMapDriveDialog()

Dim ReturnValue As Integer
Const RESOURCETYPE_DISK = &H1

ReturnValue = WNetConnectionDialog(Nothing, RESOURCETYPE_DISK)
