DriveInfo(String) Constructor

Definition

Creates a new instance of the DriveInfo class.

public DriveInfo (string driveName);

Parameters

driveName
String

A valid drive letter or fully qualified path.

Exceptions

The drive letter cannot be null.

driveName does not refer to a valid drive.

Remarks

You can't use this constructor to obtain information on drive names that are null or use UNC (\\server\share) paths.

On Windows, passing a mounted directory (for example, C:\NetworkMountedDrive) obtains information for the root drive (for example, C:).
