Query a Network Share Directory

Hello

I am fairly new to .NET Development. I need to query folders within a
network drive and return some metadata related to the directories.
For instance, I might have the following path: \\MyServer\Tech
I would want to get the size and name of all the folders inside this folder.
I tried using a simple DirectoryInfo object, but I am getting
AccessDeniedExc eption. I know there has to be a better way of doing this
using Impersonation.
Can someone please help?

AccessDeniedExc eption means just that. You don't have permissions on the
Share with your user account to access anything on the Share If this
is a Web application and it's VS 2003, then the machine\ASPNET account
must have permissions to access the Share on the machine.

Keep in mind that access permission by user account to folders and files
on the Share is different than user account access permissions to the
Share itself.

You have a user account permissions issue that the application is
running under.

Hi, Is it possible to create a network-drive at the SYSTEM-level? E.g.: map X: to \\server1\share so a windows service can reach X: without having to log on? I want a Windows .NET service to collect files from a UNIX-share (mapped to X:) that is exposed to windows using Hummingbird-software. Leo.

I have been desperately trying to get this to work. I create a C# Web App on the localhost (the only place i'm allowed to put it). Put an arbitrary button or something in, compile it, run it... everything works fine. Copy the directory over to a network share, set up a virual directory under my localhosts IIS so that it points to that network share and i get an inclusion error: Parser Error Message: Could not load type 'helP.Global'.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
