Hi patron,
Here is an example:
string unc = @"\\server\share";
DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(unc);
FileInfo[] files = di.GetFiles("*.*");
foreach(FileInfo fi in files)
{
//Do something
}But please make sure your ASP.NET web application has permissions on the shared folder.

I found out that aspnet user account didn't hjave permission to that network drive. So, I have to find another solution.if ASPNET account is not having permission to that network drive.. than you can Impersonate your site.. with UserName and Password who is having full control/permission over that network drive...
let me know if you have any doubts..

Well to access the network folders you need to gie the network path. So you need to specify the complete network path.
Say \\computername\sharename\.....Friday, June 22, 2007 4:14 PM -

specify full UNC path as described above as \\computername\sharename\.....
and be sure that ASPNET account has full permission over that network share.
