Drive Type??? - .NET Framework

Shannon Richards

Hello all: I am trying to retrieve all drives of a specific type.

I can obtain all drives via the Directory.GetLogicalDrives() method however
there is no obvious way to determine the type of drive?

Thank you,
Shannon Richards.

I know it can be achieved via the MicrosoftScripting COM reference and the
traditional FileSystemObject but I'm looking for a solution that does not
depend on this COM .dll

Thank you,
Shannon Richards.
