    Mapping Network Drives

    Hi all!

    I'm trying to figure out how to map a network drive in VB.NET/.NET
    Framework. I understand that I can add references to wscript and the
    scripting runtime library, but I want to do it w/VB.NET & the Framework.
    Suggestions? Thanks in advance!

      One option is to spawn the "net use" command.

          Right. I knew I could do that too, but I do want to use "pure" VB.NET and the
          ..NET Framework. Thanks for the suggestion Siva!

              The .NET Framework currently doesn't support mapping network drives. You
              may either want to use WSH or p/invoke + 'NetShareAdd'.
