[Mono-dev] accessing file on a windows share

2005-11-16 Thread Buderya Roshan 
Hi,

I am trying to access a file on a remote share (Windows share with full
access to everyone). On windows using .net I can access and read the
file as

StreamReader sr = new
StreamReader(@\\server_name\share_name\file_name);
string line = sr.ReadLine();

But when I compile  run the same under mono for windows, I get
System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException.  How do I specify the filepath in
mono? Also when this is running from Linux (Samba client setup) do I
need to do something else?

Thanks,
Roshan

Answering my own question, using mono on Linux, I figured (with some
help from the mono IRC channel) we need to use Gnome.Vfs library to
access remote shares. A URI of the form
smb://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/path_to_file/ should work.
