Listing mapped network directories in VB.NET

Question

How do I get all of the mapped network drives (shared ones) like the ones that a person would see in Windows Explorer?

That is,

• Network Places
  • Computer 1
    • Shared Folder
  • Computer 2
    • Shared Folder 1
    • Shared Folder 2

Is there a command or an API function that I can use to get at least the names of the computers and its folders?

Answer 1

You can find a good ready-to-use solution in Network Shares and UNC paths (at The Code Project).

If you want to do it yourself, I think using WMI would be the way to go.

Also check Mapped network drives cannot be listed in C# for more information.
