DriveInfo(String) Constructor

Definition

Namespace:

System.IO

Assembly:

System.IO.FileSystem.DriveInfo.dll

Source:

DriveInfo.cs

Creates a new instance of the DriveInfo class.

public:
 DriveInfo(System::String ^ driveName);

public DriveInfo (string driveName);

new System.IO.DriveInfo : string -> System.IO.DriveInfo

Public Sub New (driveName As String)

Parameters

driveName

String

A valid drive letter or fully qualified path.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

The drive letter cannot be null.

ArgumentException

driveName does not refer to a valid drive.

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:).
