UNC path for Bitmap

[brd24gor]

I am having some problems creating a new Bitmap object with a UNC filepath. Here is my code:

Bitmap testPic = new Bitmap(@"\\scbcmain\data\Testing\defaultimage.png");

It works OK if I point it to a file on the local drive. If it makes any difference, I will be showing the file in a PictureBox control.

Thanks in advance!

Use WNetAddConnection2() API to make a connection with that machine\folder and there access the file.
You need DllImport() and NETRESOURCE structure.

How do I go about implementing these? The references I have found are rather vague on how to use WNetAddConnection2() and NETRESOURCE in C#.

I am pretty new at C# programming so I apologize if this is a simple problem.

Thanks,
Brad
