using IWshRuntimeLibrary in C#

Hi Experts,

I would like to know how to use the using WshNetworkClass.....to safely Add Printers and Map a Network Drive.

I have managed to Add a printer passing it "" values for driver & port, although when I try to MapNetworkDrive I don't know what I should be supplying the ref objects?

Can anyone help me with this please...

Thanks in advance.

To be clearer....I am trying to map a drive using the following library....

using IWshRuntimeLibrary;
...
...
WshNetworkClass network = new WshNetworkClass();
...
...
network.MapNetworkDrive(_drive, @"\\" + _server + @"\" + _share,REF OBJECT, REF OBJECT, REF OBJECT);

Can anyone give me some examples of the REFs required here........

i guess this works in VBScript. It should successfully map to a network drive
\\server1\data.

Dim WshNetwork
Set WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
sPwd = inputbox("Enter password")
WshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "J:", "\\server1\data", false,
"xyz_net\John", sPwd
Msgbox "Drives has been mapped successfully"

Thanks for this gregoryyoung

Just one last question. Do you know if there is a way around having to PASS the password. I can identify the username easily enought Environment.Username although I don't know how I would pass the "password" credentials through?

I would imagine that is if you want to use a different username/pass (without knowing the library). My guess would be that passing null attempts to use your current token (but this is just a guess)
