I am using C# to create a folder and share it on the network:
if (!System.IO.Directory.Exists(FolderPath))
{
System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(FolderPath);
// Calling Win32_Share class to create a shared folder
ManagementClass managementClass = new ManagementClass("Win32_Share");
// Get the parameter for the Create Method for the folder
ManagementBaseObject inParams = managementClass.GetMethodParameters("Create");
ManagementBaseObject outParams;
// Assigning the values to the parameters
inParams["Description"] = Description;
inParams["Name"] = ShareName;
inParams["Path"] = FolderPath;
inParams["Type"] = 0x0;
// Finally Invoke the Create Method to do the process
outParams = managementClass.InvokeMethod("Create", inParams, null);
// Validation done here to check sharing is done or not
if ((uint)(outParams.Properties["ReturnValue"].Value) != 0)
{
//MessageBox.Show("Folder might be already in share or unable to share the directory");
}
}
It works on XP, but I am not able to share a folder from this code on Windows 7.
Can anyone tell me how I can share a folder in Windows 7 using C#?
