Question

I am trying to connect to a network location through my ASP.NET web application using WNetAddConnection2. Every thing works perfectly when I debug it using the ASP.NET Development Server provided along with VS2010. But when I deploy the code in a Windows Server 2008 R2 it does not place the file and throws a Win32 exception with error code 0X80004005. The application pool identity is network service and i am using a domain user account for imparsanation.

I have checked the connectivity and user name password validity using the command and it works pefectly from the server runas /netonly /user:DOMAIN\User “explorer.exe \Path”

Please also note my firewall is switched off and i dont have an antivirus running on the Windows Server 2008.

Any help is really appreciated.

I have used the sample code from How to provide user name and password when connecting to a network share

The WNetUseConnection will work, we need to define all its structures properly. WNetUseConnection(IntPtr.Zero, nr, password, username, 0, null, null, null);
