Get list of logical drives information using C#
In this article I am making a small demo application for getting the logical drives information using C#. Here I create DriveInfoinstance to get list of capacity of drive, used size of drive, free drive size and file type of logical drives.
Getting Start: -
1. Create a console project in visual studio with appropriate name.
2. In the Main() write the below line of code for getting the logical drives information.
DriveInfo[] drives = DriveInfo.GetDrives();// Create DriveInfo Type variable and get the all information of drives with the help of DriveInfo.GetDrives() method.
Console.WriteLine("=================================");
Console.WriteLine("\tProperties");
Console.WriteLine("=================================");
foreach (DriveInfo drive in drives)
{
Console.WriteLine("=================================");
Console.WriteLine("\tProperties");
Console.WriteLine("=================================");
Console.WriteLine("Drive: {0}", drive.Name); // Show drive name
if (drive.TotalSize > 1073741824) //check the drive is MB or GB
Console.WriteLine("Used Space: {0}GB", (drive.TotalSize / 1073741824) - (drive.AvailableFreeSpace / 1073741824)); // Shows Used drive space in GB if total size in GB
else
Console.WriteLine("Used Space: {0}MB", (drive.TotalSize / 1073741824) - (drive.AvailableFreeSpace / 1073741824)); // Shows Used drive space in MB if total size in MB
if (drive.AvailableFreeSpace > 1073741824)
Console.WriteLine("Space Reamining:{0}GB", drive.AvailableFreeSpace / 1073741824); // Shows available drive space in MB if total size in GB
else
Console.WriteLine("Space Reamining:{0}MB", drive.AvailableFreeSpace / 1073741824); // Shows available drive space in MB if total size in MB
if (drive.TotalSize > 1073741824)
Console.WriteLine("Capacity:{0}GB", drive.TotalSize / 1073741824); // Shows Total drive space in MB if total size in GB
else
Console.WriteLine("Capacity:{0}MB", drive.TotalSize / 1073741824); // Shows Total drive space in MB if total size in MB
Console.WriteLine("File System: {0}", drive.DriveFormat); // Shows Total drive File System
}
Console.ReadKey();
Note :- copy the above line of code and paste into your main folder and run your demo project.
