WNetAddConnection3(hWnd, ref ConnInf, null, null,

The WNetAddConnection2 function supersedes the WNetAddConnection function. If you can pass a handle to a window that the provider of network resources can use as an owner window for dialog boxes, call the WNetAddConnection3 function instead.

You can also use the WNetAddConnection2 and WNetAddConnection3 functions to redirect a local device to a network resource. Connections added by NetUseAdd are not shown in the Explorer. You should use one of the WNetAddConnection methods to make the networkdrive visible in the explorer.
