Hello and welcome to my first C# tutorial

I'm going to be keeping all the controll names default names:

You Will need to be using :

using

Code: Select all

System.IO;

Alright so you will need to add a:

- listbox controll

To setup the listbox Controll you will need to insert

5 colums

-Drive
-Drive Name
-Drive Size
-Free Space
-Drive Type

You Will also need a contextmenu strip called
- Refresh


Now we are going To Create a Method

Fisrt Method:
getDriveInfo

Code: Select all

DriveInfo[] allDrives = DriveInfo.GetDrives();
void GetDriveInfo()
{

      foreach (DriveInfo d in allDrives)
            {
// The foreach statment meaning from mdsn
//The foreach statement repeats a group of embedded statements for each element in an array or an //object collection.
                try
                {
			//create a new list view item
			//this will also Hold the first coloms  
                    ListViewItem lvi = new ListViewItem(d.Name);
                    long ByteToGig = d.AvailableFreeSpace;
                    long TotalSpace = d.TotalSize;
                    lvi.SubItems.Add(ByteToGig / 1024 / 1024 / 1024 + " GB"); //adds free space to the listview in gb's
                    lvi.SubItems.Add(TotalSpace / 1024 / 1024 / 1024 + " GB");//adds total space to the listview in gb's
                    lvi.SubItems.Add(d.DriveFormat);//stores the Drive Format ect nfs ,fat 
                    lvi.SubItems.Add(d.VolumeLabel);//The name if the Drive;
                    listView1.Items.Add(lvi);//add all of the listviewitem into the listview

                }
                catch { }
            }
        }

Alright for the ContextMenuStrip
doubble click it for the click event and add

Code: Select all

            listView1.Items.Clear();//clears the ListViewe
            GetDriveInfo();//get's the drive info using the method we created earlyer

Now doubble click the form1 for the load event and add

Code: Select all

GetDriveInfo();

This is what the finished Product should look like

and you should be done ='D
I will be coming back to this tutorial tomorrow and posting how to save the infomation to a Textfile on you desktop and stuff.
