How do I identify if a folder is local or network in C#

[randall2nd]

I need to be able to Identify if a given folder resides on a mapped network drive or the local machine.

I know in VB there is the "Scripting.FileSystemObject" that has a "Drive.DriveType" object that provides exactly what I am looking for. Is there an equivalent in C#?

Currently I am just checking if the drive letter is greater than "E". Obviously this is an incredibly flawed and bad way of doing this.

I am supposed to be using the .NET framework, but anything will be better than the way I am doing it now.

Please Help

Figured it out!!!!
Here is what worked for me.

This requires the System.Management Namespace. It was not included in my normal install, but you can reference it by clicking "Project|Add Reference" from the menu in Visual Studio.

using System.Management;
[...]
private class DriveTypes
{
  public const int Unknown = 0;
  public const int Not_Root_Directory = 1;
  public const int Removable_Disk = 2;
  public const int Local_Disk = 3;
  public const int Network = 4;
  public const int Compact_Disc = 5;
  public const int RAM_Disk = 6;
}
[...]
ManagementObject CurrDriveInfo = 
   new ManagementObject("Win32_LogicalDisk='" + dirPath.Substring(0,dirPath.IndexOf(@"\")) + "'");
try
{
   //check if Network drive
  if(int.Parse(CurrDriveInfo.GetPropertyValue("DriveType").ToString()) == DriveTypes.Network)
    {isNetWork  = true;}
  else
    {isNetWork  = false;}
}
catch(System.Management.ManagementException)
{isNetWork  = false; // error indicates that drive does not exist}

I only cared whether or not it was a network drive, so that is all I checked for. Otherwise should probably use a switch..case statement.

If you know a better way or I got a type wrong post back and let me know.
