thanks for the hint, the Sleep was only an example to see what happens ;-)

Thank you very much for the explanation. I was aware about these circumstances but I thought there was a kind of defined order how the AddressList property will be filled.

Thank you very much! The article behind the link answered my question.

With the "correct" one I mean the IP that I get if I use the Ping command in the CMD
console. And that leads me to another question: How is Ping.exe detecting the IP of the target computer if I´m pinging a computer name which I never pinged before?

Is it something like that?:
- Ping sends an WHOIS as broadcast
- DNS server answers
- Ping now knows the IP and is pinging it

Yes, I know. I simply forgot it and Visual Studio doesn´t show a hint regarding this. But thanks anyway!

WHAT THE ???

I added the return type and the exception is gone. The application is working now.

Thank you very much for your help! Your suggestion is accepted as the solution.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that the line 166 was the line in the C# project from your suggested link. I´ve added the translated code to the question above.

Hi Dave, thanks for the link, it sounds interesting and could be a solution in further projects. I converted it to VB.Net and it works (it gets the value and returns it) but I get an exception in class "NetworkShare.cs" line 166. It tells me "MarshalDirectiveException: PInvoke restriction: cannot return variants.". Do you have an idea how to solve it?

BTW: I cannot mention a problem which I do not get.

Thank you very much for the explanation! I know Process Explorer but I didn´t know that you can see strings with it. This makes me thoughtful...

The idea with the service is good and I´m able to install services but unfortunately I´m not allowed to do that because I use the application in a company environment and cannot install/configure what I want on customer´s computers.

The application have two forms. At every start of the application the first form asks the user for the admin credentials. This information will be stored in public variables of the second form. After closing the application the credential information is gone. The credentials will not be saved to a file.

Regarding your suggestion: I tried this already and wanted to start the second application locally as a process but I get the exception "The stub got wrong data". The credentials itself (e.g. wrong password) cannot be the cause because I can do a WMI query with the same one and this works.
