using System.Text;

class CSburnD
{
    [DllImport("shfolder.dll")]
    static extern int SHGetFolderPath(IntPtr hwndOwner, int nFolder,
                                      IntPtr hToken, int dwFlags,
                                      StringBuilder pszPath);

    const int CSIDL_CDBURN_AREA = 0x3B;
    const int SHGFP_TYPE_CURRENT = 0;

    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        StringBuilder szPath = new StringBuilder(1024);
        if (SHGetFolderPath((IntPtr)0, CSIDL_CDBURN_AREA, (IntPtr)0,
            SHGFP_TYPE_CURRENT, szPath) != 0)
            Console.WriteLine("SHGetFolderPath() failure");
        else
            Console.WriteLine("SHGetFolderPath return value = " + szPath);
        Console.Read();

        Type t = Type.GetTypeFromCLSID(CLSID_CDBurn);
        if (t == null)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("ICDBurn not supported by OS");
            Console.Read();
            return;
        }

        ICDBurn iface = (ICDBurn)Activator.CreateInstance(t);
        if (iface == null)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Unable to obtain interface");
            Console.Read();
            return;
        }

        bool hasRecorder = false;
        iface.HasRecordableDrive(ref hasRecorder);
        Console.WriteLine("HasRecordableDrive return value = " + hasRecorder);
        Console.Read();
        if (hasRecorder)
        {
            StringBuilder driveLetter = new StringBuilder(4);
            iface.GetRecorderDriveLetter(driveLetter, 4);
            Console.WriteLine("GetRecorderDriveLetter return value = " +
                              driveLetter);
            Console.Read();
            iface.Burn((IntPtr)0);
        }
    }
}

And is there something wrong with the code? You haven't told us anything about it.

[pajju1992]

No there is nothing wrong with the above code... it works properly..

So then this thread is resolved and you need no further assistance?
