Hi,

I try to establish a dial-up internet connection in my
VB.NET application. I found some VB6 code examples for
wininet.dll which is part of the Win32 API.

Example:

Private Declare Function InternetAutodial
Lib "wininet.dll"
(ByVal dwFlags As Long, ByVal hwndParent As Long) As Long

Is there an equivalent API in the .NET framework or do I
have to call wininet.dll from my VB.NET app directly?

Thanks,
Guido

I'm pretty sure there isn't, so you probably still have to call
InternetAutodial. The VB.NET version should be

Declare Function InternetAutodial Lib "wininet.dll" (ByVal dwFlags As
Integer, ByVal hwndParent As IntPtr) As Boolean

Hello Guido,

Thanks for posting in the group.

Mattias is right. There is no corresponding namespace or classes in .NET
class library to do the same work yet. All we need to do is to use PInvoke
to call these Win32 APIs in .NET programming.

Please refer to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/cpguide/html/cpconconsumingunmanaged
dllfunctions.asp?frame=true for details on PInvoke.

Does that answer your question?
