How to get extended attributes about a file/folder in c#?

[rh.krish]

I'm writing a web application where I have to present an interface in
browser which looks like a windows explor. I need to populate filename,
size, type, modified date, owner, attributes, etc...
I'm able to get filename, size, type and modified date from FileInfo
class. But I don't know how to get a owner of a file in c#?. Anybody
knows how to get it? (owner of a file can be seen from windows explorer
by right clicking the header on the right pane and selecting the
'owner').

Thanks,
Hari.

Hari,

Take a look at this blog post. Brian Noyes uses WMI to get the extended
information:

Also, as mentioned in that post you could us P/Invoke to call the Win
API GetSecurityInfo

Good luck!

What's the value of showing the Owner to a web based client?
