I want to get the list of removable disk in c#. I want to skip the local drives. Because i want the user to save the file only in removable disk.
You will need to reference System.IO
for this method.
var driveList = DriveInfo.GetDrives();
foreach (DriveInfo drive in driveList)
{
if (drive .DriveType == DriveType.Removable)
{
//Add to RemovableDrive list or whatever activity you want
}
}
Or for the LINQ fans:
var driveList = DriveInfo.GetDrives().Where(d => d.DriveType == DriveType.Removable);
Added
As for the Saving part, as far as I know I don't think you can restrict where the user is allowed to save to using a SaveFileDialog, but you could complete a check after you have shown the SaveFileDialog.
if(saveFileDialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
if (CheckFilePathIsOfRemovableDisk(saveFileDialog.FileName) == true)
{
//carry on with save
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("Must save to Removable Disk, location was not valid");
}
}
OR
The best option would be to create your own Save Dialog, which contains a tree view, only showing the removable drives and their contents for the user to save to! I would recommend this option.
Hope this helps
