I just googled "C# file.copy password share" and the first result seems to have your answer:
.net - copy files with authentication in c# - Stack Overflow[^]

The second result has a simple impersonator class you could use: c# - File.Copy() to file server with network Credential - Stack Overflow[^]

That's OK. You can convert it to C#. You'll find very few vb.net examples so in the future I would suggest you do google searches for c#.
