Hi
Thanks for your answer. I just want to provide you with some of the code i
have now implemented. There might be better ways but it works for me.
Greetings
/// <summary>
/// Retrieves all shared folders in the filesystem
/// </summary>
/// <returns>list of pathes of shared folders</returns>
public static List<string> GetSharedFolders(){
List<string> sharedFolders = new List<string>();
// Object to query the WMI Win32_Share API for shared files...
ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher("select *
from win32_share");
ManagementBaseObject outParams;
ManagementClass mc = new ManagementClass("Win32_Share"); //for local shares
foreach (ManagementObject share in searcher.Get()){
string type = share["Type"].ToString();
if (type == "0") // 0 = DiskDrive (1 = Print Queue, 2 = Device, 3 = IPH,
2147483648 = Disk Drive Admin, 2147483649 = Print Queue Admin, 2147483650 =
Device Admin, else probably IPH Admin
{
string name = share["Name"].ToString(); //getting share name
string path = share["Path"].ToString(); //getting share path
string caption = share["Caption"].ToString(); //getting share description
sharedFolders.Add(path);
}
}
return sharedFolders;

{
// try to find file name

FileHandler.ReturnFullFileName(pRelativePath);
DirectoryInfo dirInfo = new DirectoryInfo(pRelativePath);
