Hello,
I have been searching to no avail to find a way to
share a remote directory under C#. I can do it with
scripts but could someone tell me how to share a drive in
C#? Thank you so much. I am at a roadblock.

Mike,
If you share it in script, then you can easily take the COM dll that you
use and import it into .NET. If you want, you can also use the Win32 API
functions to add a share.
Which would you prefer?

If you just want to establishes a connection between the local computer and a remote network share, simply use Process.Start to
issue a net use command.
using System.Diagnostics;
....
string device = "X:"; // local device mapping
string uncpath = @\\server\share;
ProcessStartInfo psi = new ProcessStartInfo();
psi.FileName = "cmd.exe";
psi.Arguments = String.Format("/c net use {0} {1}", device, uncpath);
psi.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Minimized;
Process proc = Process.Start(psi);
proc.WaitForExit();
if(proc.ExitCode != 0)
....
.....

Hello. Thanks, but what I need is to create a share. I
create a folder on a remote machine and then want to share
that folder and add share permissions to it.

No problem just change the command into "net share ....":
.....
net share pipo=c:\pipo
string sharename= "TEMP"; // Sharename
string uncpath = @"c:\tmp"; // share c:\tmp as TEMP
ProcessStartInfo psi = new ProcessStartInfo();
psi.FileName = "cmd.exe";
psi.Arguments = String.Format("/c net share {0}={1}", sharename, uncpath);
Take a look in the help for Net share for extra options.
Another possibility is to use the Management classes (WMI wrappers) or PInvoke.
Willy.

Here's how to achieve the same using Management namespace classes.
using System;
using System.Management;
public class Wmis {
public static void Main() {
string sharename = "TEMP";
UInt32 ret = Create("Test", 10, sharename, "passwordhere", @"c:\tmp");
Console.WriteLine("Creation returned: " + ret);
ManagementObject share = new ManagementObject("Win32_Share=" + "'" + sharename +"'");
string s = (string)share.Properties["Description"].Value; // read property "description"
Console.ReadLine(); // press enter to delete share
ret = Delete(share);
Console.WriteLine("Deletion returned: " + ret);
}
public static UInt32 Create(string Description, UInt32 MaximumAllowed, string Name, string Password, string Path)
{
ManagementBaseObject inParams = null;
ManagementClass classObj = new System.Management.ManagementClass(null, "Win32_Share", null);
inParams = classObj.GetMethodParameters("Create");
inParams["Access"] = null; // default Security descriptor used
inParams["Description"] = Description;
inParams["MaximumAllowed"] = MaximumAllowed;
inParams["Name"] = Name;
inParams["Password"] = Password;
inParams["Path"] = Path;
inParams["Type"] = 0; // Disk drive 0, print queue 1
ManagementBaseObject outParams = classObj.InvokeMethod("Create", inParams, null);
return Convert.ToUInt32(outParams.Properties["ReturnValue"].Value);
}
public static UInt32 Delete(ManagementObject share)
{
ManagementBaseObject inParams = null;
ManagementBaseObject outParams = share.InvokeMethod("Delete", inParams, null);
return System.Convert.ToUInt32(outParams.Properties["ReturnValue"].Value);
}
}

Thank you Willy! This is exactly what I was looking for.
With my limited programming knowledge it still took me
some time to get working, but it now does what I need.

Hi Willy,
how can I share an existing folder on a remote machine, for example my server?
I tried: UInt32 ret = Create("Test", 10, sharename, "passwordhere", @"\\\\SERVER\\C$\\tmp");

I have an easier way to accomplish the same thing by referencing the Windows
Scripting Host Network object (WshNetwork)... while it's technically not
pure C# since you're importing a COM object, it's cheaper than creating a
new process to run a command - and it's only three lines of code :-)
- First, right-click on the References folder in your project.
- Click the COM tab.
- Find the item named "Windows Script Host Object Model"
- Click Select
- Click OK.
- A new reference named IWshRuntimeLibrary should appear in the
References folder.
Now you have a reference to the WSH dll in your project and can create code
such as:
using IWshRuntimeLibrary;
...
WshNetwork net = new WshNetwork();
net.MapNetworkDrive("X:", @"\\machine\share", false, "username",
"password");
That's it!

Did anybody try the command UInt32 ret = Create("Test", 10, sharename, "passwordhere", @"c:\tmp") for a remote machine? I'm trying to share a folder on my server but it's not working:
UInt32 ret = Create("Test", 10, sharename, "passwordhere", @"\\SERVER\tmp")
