    .NET Framework Drive Object

    Howdy All,

    I have been looking and am amazed that there is not an equivilent
    object as the WSH or FSO in .net. To be able to get Drive information
    you either have to use COM on one of the two afore mentioned objects.

    Or use the WSI queries which are not the most user friendly. Granted
    they contain a ton of information but I have to write my own English
    translation function if I want "Drive Types" in words.

    All of the postings I can find on this are dated pre 2003. Have there
    been any updates and I am just missing them or are these the only
    options?

    Thanks

    dbl

      What are you trying to do? System.IO.Direc tory and
      Environment.Get LogicalDrives should be anough for most purposes.

          I am wanting to get Drive Type, Volumn Information, if removable drive
          has media in it, the Capacity, and available Free space.

          And I don't see any Framework object that will do that. Yes I realize
          that I could write my own class that uses the WMI but as I said it just
          surprises me that this type of object was not included in the Framework.

          Thanks
