Determining if a folder is shared in .NET

by

You can get a list of all the shared folders using the WMI Win32_Share and see if the folder you’re looking for is between them. Here’s a snippet that might help you with this:

public static List<string> GetSharedFolders()
{

  List<string> sharedFolders = new List<string>();

  // Object to query the WMI Win32_Share API for shared files...

  ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher("select * from win32_share");

  ManagementBaseObject outParams;

  ManagementClass mc = new ManagementClass("Win32_Share"); //for local shares

  foreach (ManagementObject share in searcher.Get()){

  string type = share["Type"].ToString();

  if (type == "0") // 0 = DiskDrive (1 = Print Queue, 2 = Device, 3 = IPH)
  {
    string name = share["Name"].ToString(); //getting share name

    string path = share["Path"].ToString(); //getting share path

    string caption = share["Caption"].ToString(); //getting share description

    sharedFolders.Add(path);
  }

  }

  return sharedFolders;

}
