Bart,
Another point I forgot in my previous feedback is that the same namespaces can be used to create Fileshares Printershares etc.

Here is a sample using the DirectoryServices with some COM interop with the activeds.dll.

using System;
using System.DirectoryServices;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using activedsnet;
class Tester {
public static void Main() {
// DirectoryEntry container = new DirectoryEntry("WinNT://yourcomputernamehere, computer", null, null, AuthenticationTypes.ServerBind);
using (DirectoryEntry container = new DirectoryEntry("WinNT://scenic/LanmanServer", "administrator", "kevin", AuthenticationTypes.ServerBind))
{
IADsContainer cont = container.NativeObject as IADsContainer;
if (cont != null) {
// Share the path as PublicDocs
IADsFileShare FileShare = cont.Create("FileShare", "PublicDocs") as IADsFileShare;
FileShare.Path = @"c:\pipo";
FileShare.Description = "MyPipo";
FileShare.MaxUserCount = 2;
FileShare.SetInfo();
}
}

}
}

// K:\NetV1.1\Management>csc /r:activedsnet.dll fileshares.cs

To run the sample you need to create a Interop Assembly by running tlbimp on the activeds.tlb (found in the system32 dir)
fi .
tlbimp c:\windows\system32\activeds.tlb out:activedsnet.dll

will create a IA called activedsnet.dll containing a namespace activedsnet

Adapt the path to your own needs, compile the program and run

Success.
Willy.
