How to check if Drive is a network Drive

Hello,

I need to know how I can check if the drives on my machine
are network drives and local drives via the .Net framework.

For example my PC has the following drives
C: Local
D: Local
N: Network
S: Network

I want to get the information regarding 'Local'
and 'Network'.

Thanks,

Hi

I have a couple of examples that will explain this on my site here
http://www.publicjoe.f9.co.uk/csharp/snip/snip010.html

The sample app uses the following line

SelectQuery query = new SelectQuery( "select name, FreeSpace from
win32_logicaldisk where drivetype=4"

drivetype is 3 for local drives and 4 for network drives

Hope this helps
