Check Network Drive

[robertfah]

Is there a way that I can check to see if a network drive is connected b4 I attempt to connect to it with a windows C# app?

I'm moving some files from one location to another and sometimes the network connection is lost overnight, so I don't want the program to bomb like it does now.

Thanks!

I don't know that you need to check if it is connected. You could simply use a try/catch block, with your file movement operations in the try portion. In the catch put a way to handle the 'drive not available' exception gracefully.

Hope this helps,

Alex,

I know I can use the try/catch block but was curious if it did fail instead of throwing the 'drive not available' exception, I would somehow be able to just reconnect the drive.

I think there's a way to do it in a batch file if I remember correctly, but I guess I'm dating myself with that huh? LOL
