Hi All,

I'm fairly new to .Net Framework, so if this has been answered before,
please redirect me...

One of the public methods in the Environment class is
'GetLogicalDrives', which returnes a String[]...

What methods/classes allow the programmer to querry the types of devides
returned in this array... For example, I need to know, if the device is
a 'removable' device (i.e. memory stick, CD-ROM, etc)... What class
method could be used to identify these devices (from a string no less)...

You help would be appreciated...
Thanks,

Peter Wilford

There's no such class in v1 of the framework. You could get the
information with the GetDriveType Win32 API or with WMI
(System.Management).
