How to check folder is shared or not?

Using C# for an application in which I am working on, I need to check the
available folder is shared or not. How to check it?

Thanks!

Well, you could use WMI?

I took this right from the WMI Code Creator(usefull little tool)
[code=C#]

using System;
using System.Manageme nt;
using System.Windows. Forms;

namespace WMISample
{
public class MyWMIQuery
{
public static void Main()
{
try
{
ManagementObjec tSearcher searcher =
new ManagementObjec tSearcher("root \\CIMV2",
"SELECT * FROM Win32_Share");

foreach (ManagementObje ct queryObj in searcher.Get())
{
Console.WriteLi ne("-----------------------------------");
Console.WriteLi ne("Win32_Shar e instance");
Console.WriteLi ne("-----------------------------------");
Console.WriteLi ne("AccessMask : {0}", queryObj["AccessMask "]);
Console.WriteLi ne("AllowMaximu m: {0}", queryObj["AllowMaxim um"]);
Console.WriteLi ne("Caption: {0}", queryObj["Caption"]);
Console.WriteLi ne("Description : {0}", queryObj["Descriptio n"]);
Console.WriteLi ne("InstallDate : {0}", queryObj["InstallDat e"]);
Console.WriteLi ne("MaximumAllo wed: {0}", queryObj["MaximumAllowed "]);
Console.WriteLi ne("Name: {0}", queryObj["Name"]);
Console.WriteLi ne("Path: {0}", queryObj["Path"]);
Console.WriteLi ne("Status: {0}", queryObj["Status"]);
Console.WriteLi ne("Type: {0}", queryObj["Type"]);
}
}
catch (ManagementExce ption e)
{
MessageBox.Show ("An error occurred while querying for WMI data: " + e.Message);
}
}
}
}

[/code]

Example output:

-----------------------------------
Win32_Share instance
-----------------------------------
AccessMask:
AllowMaximum: True
Caption: License
Description:
InstallDate:
MaximumAllowed:
Name: httproot
Path: C:\inetpub\wwwr oot\
Status: OK
Type: 0

So Name and Path are probably your most usefull properties
