I can view a remotly connected pc from this article:Remote Desktop using c-net . but i dont need it. I just have to connect with that pc and get the free space data of C drive. How could i do this? I can connect to a remote desktop. I can get driveInfo using IO namespace. but how to combine them?
Use the System.Management
namespace and Win32_Volume
WMI class for this. You can query for an instance with a DriveLetter
of C:
and retrieve its FreeSpace
property as follows:
ManagementPath path = new ManagementPath() {
NamespacePath = @"root\cimv2",
Server = "<REMOTE HOST OR IP>"
};
ManagementScope scope = new ManagementScope(path);
string condition = "DriveLetter = 'C:'";
string[] selectedProperties = new string[] { "FreeSpace" };
SelectQuery query = new SelectQuery("Win32_Volume", condition, selectedProperties);
using (ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher(scope, query))
using (ManagementObjectCollection results = searcher.Get())
{
ManagementObject volume = results.Cast<ManagementObject>().SingleOrDefault();
if (volume != null)
{
ulong freeSpace = (ulong) volume.GetPropertyValue("FreeSpace");
// Use freeSpace here...
}
}
There is also a Capacity
property that stores the total size of the volume.
