VS 2008 Get Path Of Mapped Network Drive?

Dec 23, 2009

I was expecting this to be easy but it seems that it is not... all I want to do is loop through all drives on a computer and if the drive is a network drive then get the UNC path that this network drive maps to. Simples. I was expecting to just do this:

vb.net
For Each drv In IO.DriveInfo.GetDrives()
If drv.DriveType = IO.DriveType.Network Then
MessageBox.Show(drv.RootDirectory.ToString)
End If
Next

How To Get UNC Path Of Network Drive

Jul 10, 2009

I am using some like following code to get UNC path of drive letter.
Dim query As New System.Management.ObjectQuery("select * from Win32_LogicalDisk")
Using searcher As New System.Management.ManagementObjectSearcher(Query)
'loops for all drives on system
For Each Mgmt As System.Management.ManagementObject In searcher.Get()

And it was working but now it is giving error. Below is error with stack trace
{"Specified cast is not valid."}
at System.Management.ThreadDispatch.Start()
at System.Management.ManagementScope.Initialize()
at System.Management.ManagementObjectSearcher.Initialize()
at System.Management.ManagementObjectSearcher.Get()

I also want to know alternative way to get unc path of drive that is also not depend on windows API. As there is a class driveinfo to get all drives (including network) on system. Is there any class that also provide complete or unc path information of Drive.

Searching Network Drive?

Sep 2, 2011

I'm working on a program that is used as a tool to quickly search & Open CAD drawings on our network. I have it working for the most part, but it is very slow. Right now I have an ini file with the path to the Directory I want to search for Example "G:" I think the reason this is so slow, is because there are other folders in this directory that don't need to be searched. My idea is to add all of the paths I want the program to search in the ini file, but I don't know how I will have it search through this using vb code

want my ini file to look like this

G:A
G:B
G:C
G:E

So directory D would not be searched by the program because its not in the list.

MyCode
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim PathReader As IO.StreamReader
PathReader = IO.File.OpenText("C:ISOExplorerPath.ini")

DB/Reporting :: Saving To Network Drive?

Mar 29, 2008

How can I save a file to a folder on a network drive. I have the drive mapped on my pc as "G:" but someone else could have it mapped as "Q:" or something. I can save if I use "G:ServerNameDriveNamefolder"; but can't from another pc unless I change the code to what the drive is mapped to on that pc.

Here is the code I'm trying to use to direct to the folder with out using the mapped drive:

Code:
Private Sub Button9_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button9.Click
FileOpen(1, "\ServerNameDriveNameFolder" & filenamec.Text, OpenMode.Output) 'location of the file.

Get Folder Rights On A Network Drive?

Sep 2, 2010

I want to know what rights the user has for a given folder on a network drive. But I can't find anything that does just this.

I have used DirectoryInfo.GetAccessControl and DirectorySecurity.GetAccessRules, etc. to get a collection (AuthorizationRuleCollection) of rules. But that gives me all the access groups and their rights. I don't need that (I guess I can see if I can find code that gets which returns the security groups for the current user and then compare those to the collection, but this seems awkward.)

Or I can write code that tries to create a file, delete it, etc. which is easy to do, but not quite accurate (if the user can't create a file, how can I see if the user can delete one, if the user has create, but not delete rights, I get a bunch of temp files, etc.)

All I need to know is if the current user has read write, read only, create, and/or delete rights to a given folder (and I guess file might also be nice - I would assume similar code.)

I have to believe that its a really simple thing. But Googling it and searching on the forums here didn't turn up much (unless I want code to change the users rights - which I don't.)

Getting Address Of A Mapped Network Drive

Mar 28, 2010

my first question on this board. I'm creating a media player(Like so many others). I try playing files over my network. When I pass this address "M:songssome artistsome song.mp3" to the windows media player control it actually opens "\ServerMEDIAsome artistsome song.mp3". But when my program checks if it is playing the correct song it thinks it is not, because the strings aren't equal. Is there a way in VB to get the network address of a mapped network drive? I can already see that it is a network drive but not wich address it points to.

Mapping Network Drive Remotely?

Feb 19, 2009

I'm developing an application that needs to Map a network drive for a domain user logged into a domain PC from a remote location. I have tried numerous different things with different levels of success but none with the required functionality. - First, I used WMI to create a process that would run Net Use with no luck: Net Use would ask for a user name and password to connect to the share instead of using the User's credentials.- Second I generated a script (wshNetwork) that would be copied to the remote PC and used WMI to once again create a process that would run wscript in command prompt to execute the copied script.

The script would run successfully (as evident by code placed to fill in a text file when the script completed) but the network drive was not added.- Third I created a program that would be copied to the user's PC which would map the drive using Windows Network API. Again, I used WMI to execute the program as a proccess with the results the same as the script. The application would run successfully but the drive was not added.- Fourth, I edited the user's registry to add the drive. This worked, however the mapped drive was not usable through Windows Explorer without a reboot.

Unfortunately, one of the requirements of the application is to avoid rebooting the remote PC.I have arguably had the greatest success with the following:- I used WMI to generate a scheduled task on the remote PC that would run a script (wshNetwork), an application (Win API) or the Net Use command to map the drive. All resulted in the drive being properly mapped and visable through windows explorer with the files accessable. However, the new map would be labeled "Disconnected Network Drive" and the drive could not be removed (error: network connection could not be found) and the driver letter could not be used without rebooting the system. Anyone have any suggestions on how I can do this? Unfortunately I can't use wshController to run a remote script because a majority of the PCs on the domain are not configured to use it.

Save Project To A Network Drive?

Nov 20, 2009

I want my high school students to be able to save their VB projects to their network drive folder on the school's fileserver. The students do not have access to the c: drive by Group Policy. VB does not even see the network drive each student has mapped. I have googled around and discovered it has to do with VB not trusting any network folders. There is a supposed solution by using the .net framework configuration tool but I had no success getting that to work. Right now I have them saving their project to their usb drives. They have a tendency to lose or forget those. Is there a simple way of getting those network folders accessable?

I have compiled my application using vs2005 and put the exe and dlls on a network drive. The users running windows 7 that don't have write access to the folder cannot run the program. The users on XP can run the program even without write access to the folder. The admins with write access to the folder can run it on both XP and windows 7. Does anyone know what I need to do to fix it other than giving the user write access to the folder.

Here is my idea so far: I have a bunch of computers connected in a local network. One of them is a MySQL server, one will have a vb.NET program wich will act as a "second server" and the rest will be different clients. What I want to do is that the "second server" will send out some kind of message or network package to some of the clients in the network, and they will execute a code based on what message it is, or what kind of package it is. I'll give you a simple example:
