Connect as...

[Guest]

I need to programtically connect to a network resource such as a file share,
but need to provide alternate credentials, like mapping a drive under a
different user name. How can I do this in VB.NET?

From which kind of application ?

One option is to P/Invoke WNetAddConnection2() API. A sample can be found
here: http://www.pinvoke.net/default.aspx/mpr/WNetAddConnection2.html

Other way is to shell "net use" command. For help on the command-line
parameters, type "net help use".

The WnetAddConnection2 is the way I was proceeding, but alas I was hoping
there was a pure .NET way to do it. I guess .NET still has a ways to go.
