Free Space on a Drive Passing UNC Path

[Guest]

I need to pass a UNC path to the code and return the Free space on that drive, Can any one please pass through some samples that will assist.

Thanks ( C# Newbee )

Try this

string myUNCPath = @"\\sys12345"

ConnectionOptions opt = new ConnectionOptions();
ObjectQuery oQuery = new ObjectQuery("SELECT FreeSpace FROM
Win32_LogicalDisk WHERE DriveType = 3");
ManagementScope scope = new ManagementScopemyUNCPath , opt);
ManagementObjectSearcher moSearcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher(scope,
oQuery);
ManagementObjectCollection collection = moSearcher.Get();
foreach(ManagementObject res in collection)
{
decimal freeSpace =
Convert.ToDecimal(res["FreeSpace"])/1024/1024/1024;
MessageBox.Show ("Free Space (GB)- "+ freeSpace.ToString());
break;
}

Using System.Management and WMI, try this...

using System;
using System.Management;
class Tester {
public static void Main() {
GetFreeSpace(@"\\\\servername\\sharename"); // UNC path, Note the double
quotes!!!
}
public static void GetFreeSpace(string ProviderName )
{
String strSQL = "SELECT FreeSpace, QuotasDisabled ,VolumeName FROM
Win32_LogicalDisk WHERE providername='" + ProviderName + "'" ;
SelectQuery query = new SelectQuery(strSQL);
ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher(query);
foreach (ManagementObject mo in searcher.Get()) {
// Free disk space is irrelevant if per user quota's are enabled!
if(mo["QuotasDisabled"].ToString() != "true")
Console.WriteLine("{0} - Free bytes: {1} ",mo["VolumeName"],
mo["Freespace"]);
else
Console.WriteLine("{0} - Free bytes: {1} per-user quota's
applied!!",mo["VolumeName"], mo["Freespace"]);

}
}
}

This won't work, see my other reply in this same thread.

string myUNCPath = @"\\sys12345"

Thanks Will give it a try at work on Monday,

MatthewWatson on GotDotNet, replied with this api solution, thought you all
might like it as well.

[DllImport ("Kernel32")]
public static extern bool GetDiskFreeSpaceEx

public long free_space( string folder_name )

if ( Win32API.File.GetDiskFreeSpaceEx( folder_name, ref free, ref dummy1,

return free ;
else
return -1 ;
}
