NetShareEnum netapi32 api call - Any replacement in c#

C#

Hi,

I am working on a VB6 to c# migration project. The vb6 code uses 'NetShareEnum' method of netapi32.dll to get shared folders from a machine.

I have used the System.Management.ManagementClass to get the same in c#.

It works fine for the local machine, but when I try to get the shared folders of another machine in my local network, throws an UnauthorizedAccessException.

But the NetShareEnum works fine for other machines too. The vb6 code calls this method passing a value of 2 for the parameter dwLevel and get an access denied error (for another machine) and then call the same method passing a 1 for dwLevel.

Is there any way to achieve the same in c# than using the NetShareEnum. If I use the NetShareEnum, I need to pass a pointer and later convert the result to struct which is all so confusing for me.

Thanks in advance
