I’ve spent the last few days scouring the site looking for an answer to this problem,
i need to create a folder and then make it a shared networked folder, I’ve tried several different sample code snippets from different sites
http://www.sarampalis.org/articles/dotnet/dotnet0002.shtml (this link is dead)
but none seem to allow the folder to be shared
If anyone could be of help it’d be much aprriciated
I did follow the link that you have in your question.
I have a Win 7 Professional + VS.NET 2010 Professional as my dev environment on my laptop.
I took the code from the article and quickly fired up a devenv and executed the code. The code executed perfectly without any error. When i looked at the created directory you dont see a share icon on the folder but it is indeed shared. How can you check that:
open a command prompt
type “net share” and press enter
you will see that it will list the folder c:\MyTestShare with a share name “My Test Share”
One more way to find out whether it is shared or not is to right click on the folder and look at the sharing tab. Check the Network Path label. It will clearly show the shared path.
Hope this helps you.
