A Google search for "c# enumerate workgroup" returned the following:

using System;
using System.DirectoryServices;

public class EnumComputers
{
public EnumComputers()
{
string path = "WinNT://[WorkGroupName|DomainName]";
string username = @"domain\username";
string password = "password";

DirectoryEntry domain = new DirectoryEntry(path, username, password);
DirectoryEntries computers = domain.Children;
computers.SchemaFilter.Add("Computer");

foreach(DirectoryEntry computer in computers)
{
Console.WriteLine(computer.Name);
}
}
}

Is there any way to do this in VB.Net?
I have seen examples in VB6 but i cannot Port the into .Net

It's pretty trivial to translate the above code into VB.NET:

Dim path As String = "WinNT://[WorkGroupName|DomainName]"
Dim username As String = "domain\username"
Dim password As String = "password"

Dim domain As New DirectoryEntry(path, username, password)
Dim computers As DirectoryEntries = domain.Children
computers.SchemaFilter.Add("Computer")

For Each computer As DirectoryEntry In computers
Console.WriteLine(computer.Name)
Next

Thanks the VB6 ones i looked at had Well more code and required defining custom types

System.DirectoryServices does not exist in vb.net or i am just being dumb and lookin in the wrong place

It's a framework library - it isn't language specific. You can use it in VB.NET or C# but if I remember correctly you need to add the reference to the project.
