Here's the code I use to define a Virtual Folder (Sorry if poorly formatted)
*************************************************************** [DllImport("kernel32.dll")] internal static extern bool DefineDosDevice(uint dwFlags, string lpDeviceName, string lpTargetPath); [DllImport("Kernel32.dll")] internal static extern uint QueryDosDevice(string lpDeviceName, StringBuilder lpTargetPath, uint ucchMax); internal const uint DDD_RAW_TARGET_PATH = 0x00000001; internal const uint DDD_REMOVE_DEFINITION = 0x00000002; internal const uint DDD_EXACT_MATCH_ON_REMOVE = 0x00000004; internal const uint DDD_NO_BROADCAST_SYSTEM = 0x00000008; const string MAPPED_FOLDER_INDICATOR = @"\??\"; ***************************************************** The Methods used are: ***************************************************** internal static string MapFolderToDrive(string driveLetter, string folderName) { //Lets first check to see if we are already mapped StringBuilder Map_Drive = new StringBuilder(1024); QueryDosDevice(driveLetter, Map_Drive, (uint)1024); if (Map_Drive.ToString().StartsWith(MAPPED_FOLDER_INDICATOR) == true) UnmapFolderFromDrive(driveLetter, folderName);// already mapped; // Map the folder to the drive DefineDosDevice(0, driveLetter, folderName); // Display a status message to the user. string statusMessage = new Win32Exception(Marshal.GetLastWin32Error()).ToString(); return statusMessage.Substring(statusMessage.IndexOf(":") + 1); } internal static string UnmapFolderFromDrive(string driveLetter, string folderName) { DefineDosDevice(DDD_REMOVE_DEFINITION, driveLetter, folderName); string statusMessage = new Win32Exception(Marshal.GetLastWin32Error()).ToString(); return statusMessage.Substring(statusMessage.IndexOf(":") + 1); } ************************************************************************* Hope this helps.
