Map Drive in VB.NET

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.
