I am trying to use the DirectoryInfo class to create links on a web page to
files in the specified directory. I can get it to work just fine. The
problem I am having is when I try to put in a UNC path, it does not work. It
says it cannot find the specified path. Below is the code I am using

Dim dirInfo as New DirectoryInfo("\\ServerName\Directory\SubDirectory")

I can only get this to work when I use local directories such as "D:\"

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Hmm, is there any permissioning problems... I just used this
DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(@\\server2\software); and it worked
fine.

The documentation specifically states yoiu can use UNC

so there may b e some other problem...like full read/write access
