how to list logical drives without mapped drives

Question

I would like to populate a combo box with a list of logical drives but I would like to exclude any mapped drives. The code below gives me a list of all logical drives without any filtering.

comboBox.Items.AddRange(Environment.GetLogicalDrives());

Is there a method available that can help you determine between physical drives and mapped drives?

Answer 1

You could use the DriveInfo class

    DriveInfo[] allDrives = DriveInfo.GetDrives();
    foreach (DriveInfo d in allDrives)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Drive {0}", d.Name);
        Console.WriteLine("  File type: {0}", d.DriveType);
        if(d.DriveType != DriveType.Network)
        {
            comboBox.Items.Add(d.Name);
        }
    }

exclude the drive when the property DriveType is Network
