.NET Forum / Languages / C# / June 2007File And Directory Rights
Hello: I have been looking online trying to find a simple way to find file/ directory rights in C#. I have been seeing a lot of options, none of which are obvious. I am looking for something like this: bool CanRead(string path) . . . // would be willing to write this myself If you can help me get started, that would be great. And if possible, can we ignore any Microsoft.Win32 libraries? I want to stick to System.* libraries. Thanks muches! ~Travis > I have been looking online trying to find a simple way to find file/ > directory rights in C#.

These are the classes I was looking at yesterday. Could you give an example that just checks if an application can read a directory? I have no idea how to use these methods.

It's not the application that can or cannot read a directory, it's the user. I admit, I haven't used the .NET ACL stuff. But I believe it's what you want. You need to cross-reference the ACL retrieved for a file system object with the current user and their rights, which should tell you the theoretical rights you have for the object. How to do this specifically, I don't know. But the ACL is where that information is stored, so that's where I believe you need to start looking.
