I could nto find the GetFileSecurity function in .Net framework.. is
it from Windows class?
It's not in the framework, it's a Win32 API function. I don't think
the framework has any support for this. The function is documented at

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...lesecurity.asp

Could you please give brief steps about which DLLs I need to
reference? DO I have to use DllImport?


Yes, or the VB.NET Declare statement. GetFileSecurity is implemented
in Advapi32.dll.
