    Did you try the Win32 security library from GotDotNet
    http://www.gotdotnet.com/Community/UserSamples/Details.aspx?SampleGuid=e6098575-dda0-48b8-9abf-e0705af065d9
    or the stuff Data Marvel has? There isn't much reason to reinvent these
    pinvoke declarations.

    > For the record, I am a newbie to API. Anyway, I am trying to use the Win32
    API in VB.NET to set NT Security (Administrator ACE) on a remote server
    folder from within a backup executable I have created. The problem is I am
    trying to implement my translated version of the NTFS Permission example, at
    http://www.mentalis.org/apilist/LookupAccountName.shtml, to VB.NET and the
    code fails at one particular point. (BTW, I have chosen NTFS Permission
    example because it seems pretty straight forward for a newbie.) I have
    converted all Longs to Ints and added ByRefs where needed, but the app seems
    to quit at the AddAce Call (ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER). Has anyone already
    converted this code or would anyone have suggestions for a fix?
