.NET Wrapper DLL for the WNet API

• Download sourcecode - 19 Kb

Introduction

This is a simple wrapper DLL to allow easier access to the WNet API from within the .NET environment.

The WNet API can be used to add/delete network connections (drive and printer mappings) as well as enumerate all devices and shares on the network (see MSDN for the full documentation).

Out of a total of 23 functions and seven structures, 17 functions and all structures are included in this version of the DLL.

The download contains source code for the DLL, which has XML documentation included. There is also a (very) simple sample application in order to demonstrate how to call the functions.

At the moment, the following functions still have not been wrapped.

• WNetGetNetworkInformation
• WNetGetProviderName
• WNetGetResourceInformation
• WNetGetReourceParent
• WNetGetUniversalName
• WNetRestoreConnectionW

Any feedback would be appreciated.
