Hi,

the code below show how to get all drives on the computer, i think you could use it to solve your problem

//get the drive names on the target computer
        DriveInfo[] drives = DriveInfo.GetDrives();

            foreach (DriveInfo drive in drives)
            {
                //Console.WriteLine("Drive: {0} {1}", drive.Name, drive.DriveType);
                
                if (drive.DriveType.ToString() == "Fixed")
                {
                    try
                    {
                        //Search for the folder in each drive
                        string[] dirs = Directory.GetDirectories(drive.Name, "MySql", SearchOption.AllDirectories);

                        Console.WriteLine("The number of directories found is {0}.", dirs.Length);
                        foreach (string dir in dirs)
                        {
                            Console.WriteLine(dir);
                        }

                    }
                    catch(Exception ex)
                    {
                        Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
                        
                    }
                }    
            }

Hello,

USe Environment.SystemDirectory to get the system directory......

And if you want to get the complete details of that directory then use System.IO.DirectoryInfo to get all files and directories in that folder....

alternatively you can check it up solution mentioned here....

Hope that helps...

Thanks.

The class System.Environment is used to retrieve information about the operating system.

Some of the static members of this class are as follows:
1) Environment.OSVersion - Gets the version of the operating system

The code

    #region " GetSystemDirectory       "
    /// <summary>
    /// Gets Location of System Directory
    /// </summary>
    /// <returns>Location of System Directory</returns>
    public static string GetSystemDirectory
    {
      get { return Environment.SystemDirectory; }
    }
    #endregion

returns in my case: C:\Windows\system32

A little sub-stringing gets you the OS drive.

see this code....


add using System.Management;

and this code,...
ManagementClass mgnt = new ManagementClass("Win32_LogicalDisk");
            ManagementObjectCollection mcolln = mgnt.GetInstances();
            // to show the information of drives in grid..  
            foreach (ManagementObject strt in mcolln)
            {
                string name = "";
                string Description = ""; 
                string capacity = "";
                string usedspace = "";
                string freespace = "";
                string filesystem = "";
                string volserialno = "";

                name = Convert.ToString(strt["Name"]).ToString();
                double capsity = Convert.ToDouble(strt["size"]) / 1073741824;
                capacity = capsity.ToString("N3");

                double freespc = Convert.ToDouble(strt["Freespace"]) / 1073741824;
                freespace = freespc.ToString("N3");
                double usdspac = (Convert.ToInt64(strt["size"]) - Convert.ToInt64(strt["Freespace"])) / 1073741824;
                usedspace = usdspac.ToString("N3");

                filesystem = Convert.ToString(strt["Filesystem"]).ToString();
                Description = Convert.ToString(strt["Description"]).ToString();
                volserialno = Convert.ToString(strt["VolumeSerialNumber"]).ToString();
                
            }

This is also useful for getting the system information in asp.net.

Response.Write("Machine Name:->"+System.Environment.MachineName.ToString()); Response.Write("<br>System Directory:->" + System.Environment.SystemDirectory); Response.Write("<br>User Name:->" + System.Environment.UserName);
Response.Write("<br>User Domain:->" + System.Environment.UserDomainName); Response.Write("<br>Physical Memory:->" + System.Environment.WorkingSet);
string[] drvies = System.Environment.GetLogicalDrives();
Response.Write("Logicial Drive of this PC:"+ string.Join(",",drvies));
Response.Write("<br>*********************Special Folder *************"); Response.Write("<br>Program Fies:->"+ System.Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ProgramFiles));
Response.Write("<br>Internet Cache:->" + System.Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.CommonProgramFiles));
Response.Write("<br>****************End of Special Folder *************"); Label1.Text ="Os Name:"+System.Environment.OSVersion.VersionString+"<br>"+ "OS Version:" + System.Environment.OSVersion.Version + "<br>" + "os ServicePack" + System.Environment.OSVersion.ServicePack + "<br>" + "OS PlateForm:" + System.Environment.OSVersion.Platform;
