Browsing a network with a WiFi enabled PDA

Does anyone know of a .NET Comapct Framework class in C# (i.e. one that does
not use the My.Computer class of VB.NET), that allows an application to
browse/enumerate through the mapped drives and directories on a connected
network?

I am simply trying to use a PDA to browse a network to a text file so that
it can be viewed on the PDA. I know that this can be done because the
FileExplorer application that comes with the PDA can do it.

It seems that every time I find a possible solution to this problem, I come
across the "Not available in .NET Compact Framework v2" (e.g. DriveInfo
class, ManagementClass, Path class, OpenFileDialog class).
 
I think you'll have to wrap the WNetXYZ functions with P/Invokes to do that.
You can look at OpenNETCF and see what portion of that might already be done
for you. I'm not very familiar with that part of the code...
