Prerequisites |
For this demo one of the operating systems listed under OS Restrictions above. Declares for the Win9x version of the call are provided, but not tested nor demoed. |

NetSessionEnum
provides information about sessions established on a server. The SESSION_INFO_502 structure returned from a call to an NT or 2000 machine contains information about the session, including name of the computer; name of the user; open files, pipes, and devices on the computer; and the name of the transport the client is using.
The demo illustration shows the connections and open files on my local machine acting as a server to a remote Windows 2000 machine. The data indicates that on the local machine there are seven files opened via a locally mapped share, while the remote machine connecting to the same share has 12 open. If you compare this to the illustration at NetConnectionEnum: Enumerating Share Connection Information, the numbers correctly reflect the connections via the share. Both machines in the demo are running Windows 2000. When the demo is run from NT or 2000, the SESSION_INFO_502 data type is used to return information from the call, with the method as defined in this demo. The SESSION_INFO_502 structure also returns the correct data when querying a Windows 9x machine from an Windows 2000 (or NT) machine. When the method is called from a Windows 9x machine, the method must use the SESSION_INFO_50 data type and a modified set of API parameters for the NetSessionEnum call, provided in the declares below. The SESSION_INFO_50 data type returns different data from the SESSION_INFO_502 type, and the types can not be used interchangeably on differing operating systems. In addition, when calling from 9x using the SESSION_INFO_50 structure, the caller must allocate and deallocate memory for the buffer before and after the call. On NT/2000, this is handled by the API via the MAX_PREFERRED_LENGTH flag and the NetApiBufferFree API. The Win9x method of calling this API is not demonstrated. The first parameter of either API declare points to the string
representing the remote server on which the function is to execute. If this is null (vbNullString), the local computer is used. |
BAS Module Code |
None. |

Form Code |
To a form add a command button (Command1), list box (List1), and two labels (Label1, Label2). A third set of labels in a control array can be used for the list item captions. Add the following to the form: |
