GetDriveType in C#? or find out if my drive is removable?

Question

I am using Environment.GetLogicalDrives(); to get a list of drives. I remember in c++ i could use GetDriveType to find if the device was CD, removable, flash, etc and i am thinking i want to put a filter in my app to only show CD and removable on default. What is the GetDriveType equivalent in C#? google only showed me hacks to use the c++ call.

Answer 1

Yes, the framework includes a DriveType enumeration used by the DriveInfo class. Have a look at the GetDrives() method on MSDN.

Answer 2

DriveInfo is the class you are looking for.
