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)

 
using System;
using System.Management;
using System.Windows.Forms;
 
namespace WMISample
{
    public class MyWMIQuery
    {
        public static void Main()
        {
            try
            {
                ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = 
                    new ManagementObjectSearcher("root\\CIMV2", 
                    "SELECT * FROM Win32_Share"); 
 
                foreach (ManagementObject queryObj in searcher.Get())
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("-----------------------------------");
                    Console.WriteLine("Win32_Share instance");
                    Console.WriteLine("-----------------------------------");
                    Console.WriteLine("AccessMask: {0}", queryObj["AccessMask"]);
                    Console.WriteLine("AllowMaximum: {0}", queryObj["AllowMaximum"]);
                    Console.WriteLine("Caption: {0}", queryObj["Caption"]);
                    Console.WriteLine("Description: {0}", queryObj["Description"]);
                    Console.WriteLine("InstallDate: {0}", queryObj["InstallDate"]);
                    Console.WriteLine("MaximumAllowed: {0}", queryObj["MaximumAllowed"]);
                    Console.WriteLine("Name: {0}", queryObj["Name"]);
                    Console.WriteLine("Path: {0}", queryObj["Path"]);
                    Console.WriteLine("Status: {0}", queryObj["Status"]);
                    Console.WriteLine("Type: {0}", queryObj["Type"]);
                }
            }
            catch (ManagementException e)
            {
                MessageBox.Show("An error occurred while querying for WMI data: " + e.Message);
            }
        }
    }
}
 
 

Example output:

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

So Name and Path are probably your most usefull properties
