Hi
How can i look for network share folders and copy a text file to it? I've
been looking into how i can do this in the documention but with no luck. I
found a little on of the web but i dont understand it, it seems to import
mpr.dll and make the use of c++ calls. Can this be just done by c#?
If so how?

Jamie C,

Why not just use the static Copy method on the File class?

Hope this helps.
 
But how do i find the network share drives to start with?
The example i've been looking at imports a dll,
[DllImport("mpr.dll")]

public static extern int WNetOpenEnum(ResourceScope dwScope, ResourceType
dwType, ResourceUsage dwUsage, NETRESOURCE lpNetResource, out IntPtr
lphEnum);

like but i cant find any examples in straight c#

Jamie,

This could be a huge task. Are you looking for all of the network
shares exposed on one machine, or in the whole network?

If you know the machine you want to look for the shares on, then I would
use the classes in the System.Management namespace to query for all
instances of Win32_Share where the Type is 0. You can use pass a
ManagementPath instance (with the server specified) to the constructor of
the ManagementClass object to indicate that you want the query performed on
that machine.

i'd need it to search the whole network, as file servers are being added or
drives being mapped all the time, and i need to put a disclaimer on the root
of each one. After a while it takes its tole keep copying and pasting all
the time :(

That means you need need access privileges for all these shares too! What
makes you think you will have these?

Like i said before i've been copying and pasting these files to the drives
manually, which takes far too long, so i must have the privileges to do it
manually would i not?
