Hi Julien. Well, you can look at the FileInfo.Name[^] documentation for an example of getting the list of files in a directory. The
Dir()function, though a carryover from VB6, is also available in theMicrosoft.VisualBasicnamespace. As for the volume name, you could try this (where E:\ is your CD drive):Dir("E:\", FileAttribute.Volume)
or I suppose you could add a reference to the Microsoft Scripting Runtime in your vb.net project and use the
FileSystemObject'sGetDrive()method. -
