Sample Code:

Public Shared Function OpenAppAsUser(ByVal username As String, ByVal domainname As String, ByVal password As String) As Boolean
'The Windows NT user token.
"Dim LAppname as Integer"

Dim lpCurrentDirectory As String = Nothing
Dim ret As Integer

si.lpTitle = appExe.GetName().Name
' call the Win32 API to open the application under the userID passed in
' Implicit Integer to Boolean conversion. CreateProcessWithLogonW returns 0 (False) when it fails.
fResult = CreateProcessWithLogonW(username, domainname, password, LOGON_WITH_PROFILE, lpAppName, lpCommandLine, dwCreationFlags, lpEnvironment, lpCurrentDirectory, si, pi)
' if the logon fails then we need to generate an error
If Not fResult Then
' get the last error from Windows
ret = Marshal.GetLastWin32Error
' if the userid, password, or domain is bad we can display a friendly message
If ret = 1326 Then

Return False
Else
' the error code is unexpected so throw an exception to be logged.
Dim retMsg = GetErrorMessage(ret)
Throw New MAE.BaseApplicationException("Error occurred: " + ret.ToString() + " - " + retMsg)
