WP8 Network Share API

Question

For desktop apps, I've used the following to access network shares:

    [DllImport("mpr.dll")]
    private static extern int WNetAddConnection2(NetResource netResource,
        string password, string username, int flags);

    [DllImport("mpr.dll")]
    private static extern int WNetCancelConnection2(string name, int flags,
        bool force);

Are there similar APIs available on WP8 SDK?

Answer 1

No. Windows phone doesn't support network shares. It's not the same as full windows. There is not dllimport or access to native Apis

Answer 2

I don't think this is possible either. Plus I'm sure you don't want to build a small server to serve up files and folders from the targeted computer... but you can do something similar to what the app "Easy Transfer" (http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/easy-transfer/5ccb6655-2ff9-4977-bf8b-577e92bbb236) did and build the app to act as the server.
