InternetDial VB 2005 ???

I have a bunch of code VB 6 currently using the Wininet.dll API for connecting via  modem or connecting vpn connections - uses already configured dial up networking.


I currently do not see any classes in visual studio 2005 that will do this.  Has this been left out  Tongue Tied

I don't want to send commands to a modem, I see you can do that.  Just want to use the already configured dial up networking to call back to home office.

    Oh the Disturbed one!!!
    Please don't be disturbed. What WinInet is doing is to call RAS APIs.
    RAS = Remote Access Services

    By VS2005 I think you meant .NET framework version 2.0

    There are no APIs in .NEt to dial and establish connections.
    You should never have to resort to sending commands to the MODEM,
    that would be really disturbing.

    What you could possibly do is to P/Invoke the WinInet APIs or RAS APIs.
    I will publish a blog sometime this weekend on how to do this through managed code. Please stay tuned for that.
