Drive info

[hendrikbez via DotNetMonster.com]

I have this code and want to know how can I only get the fixed drive, (HDD
drives) to show and not the map or dvd drives, and how can I make it that it
shown bytes in this format 111,111,111,111 .

Dim allDrives() As DriveInfo = DriveInfo.GetDrives()
Dim d As DriveInfo
For Each d In allDrives

lstdrives.Items.Add(d.Name)

lstdrives.Items.Add(d.DriveType.ToString)
If d.IsReady = True Then
lstdrives.Items.Add(d.VolumeLabel)

lstdrives.Items.Add("  free Bytes: " + d.AvailableFreeSpace.
ToString + " " + " bytes")
End If
Next

Re: Drive info

Use an if statment to determine if the drive is fixed or not, like this
If Not d.DriveType = DriveType.Fixed Then Continue For

And for format the number of bytes use the FormatNumber() function, that
should do the work.

Re: Drive info

Hedrik,

As you have version 2008, then try Linq, on Internet is your problem mostly
described to show how Linq to Object works
