File System

The main components used in .NET framework to access the file system are DriveInfo, DriveType, FileSystemInfo, DirectoryInfoFileInfo , and Directory, File,

DriveInfo Class

Provides access to information on a drive. DriveInfo(String) is used to accesss specified drive information. DriveInfo() is collection of drives. DriveInfo is a drive object. 

NamespaceSystem.IO AssembliesSystem.IO.FileSystem.DriveInfo.dll, mscorlib.dll, netstandard.dll
[System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComVisible(true)]
[System.Serializable]
public sealed class DriveInfo : System.Runtime.Serialization.ISerializable

Inheritance: Object->DriveInfo

Attributes: ComVisibleAttribute SerializableAttribute

Implements: ISerializable

Constructors

DriveInfo(String)

Provides access to information on the specified drive.

Properties

AvailableFreeSpace

Indicates the amount of available free space on a drive, in bytes.

DriveFormat

Gets the name of the file system, such as NTFS or FAT32.

DriveType

Gets the drive type, such as CD-ROM, removable, network, or fixed.

IsReady

Gets a value that indicates whether a drive is ready.

Name

Gets the name of a drive, such as C:\.

RootDirectory

Gets the root directory of a drive.

TotalFreeSpace

Gets the total amount of free space available on a drive, in bytes.

TotalSize

Gets the total size of storage space on a drive, in bytes.

VolumeLabel

Gets or sets the volume label of a drive.

Methods

Equals(Object)

Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.

(Inherited from Object)
GetDrives()

Retrieves the drive names of all logical drives on a computer.

GetHashCode()

Serves as the default hash function.

(Inherited from Object)
GetType()

Gets the Type of the current instance.

(Inherited from Object)
MemberwiseClone()

Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.

(Inherited from Object)
ToString()

Returns a drive name as a string.

Explicit Interface Implementations

ISerializable.GetObjectData(SerializationInfo, StreamingContext)

Populates a SerializationInfo object with the data needed to serialize the target object.

Security

FileIOPermission
for accessing directory information. The class constructor requires this permission. Associated enumeration: PathDiscovery.

Remarks

  • This class models a drive and provides methods and properties to query for drive information. Use DriveInfo to determine what drives are available, and what type of drives they are. You can also query to determine the capacity and available free space on the drive.

Applies to

.NET Framework: 4.8, 4.7.2, 4.7.1, 4.7, 4.6.2, 4.6.1, 4.6, 4.5.2, 4.5.1, 4.5, 4.0, 3.5, 3.0, 2.0

DriveType Enum

Defines constants for drive types, including CDRom, Fixed, Network, NoRootDirectory, Ram, Removable, and Unknown.

NamespaceSystem.IO AssembliesSystem.IO.FileSystem.DriveInfo.dll, mscorlib.dll, netstandard.dll
[System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComVisible(true)]
[System.Serializable]
public enum DriveType

Inheritance: Object-> ValueType-> Enum-> DriveType

Attributes: ComVisibleAttribute SerializableAttribute

Fields

CDRom 5

The drive is an optical disc device, such as a CD or DVD-ROM.

Fixed 3

The drive is a fixed disk.

Network 4

The drive is a network drive.

NoRootDirectory 1

The drive does not have a root directory.

Ram 6

The drive is a RAM disk.

Removable 2

The drive is a removable storage device, such as a USB flash drive.

Unknown 0

The type of drive is unknown.

Remarks

DriveType is used by the DriveInfo class to indicate drive type. It can be used with the DriveType property.

Applies to

.NET Framework: 4.8, 4.7.2, 4.7.1, 4.7, 4.6.2, 4.6.1, 4.6, 4.5.2, 4.5.1, 4.5, 4.0, 3.5, 3.0, 2.0
