Yes you can, and it's fairly easy if you are open to using WMI. See:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/136539/determining-if-a-folder-is-shared-in-net[^]

Also note that you don't share a file, you share the folder it resides in.

Hi

Nishant

I checked the link but in query I want to pass the path of the given folder dont want to fetch all the shared folders. On passing the path of the folder it is giving me error. And I have to find out that in the given path all the directories are shared or not means all the directorie and sub directories.
Eg
E:\abc\def\efg
in this path ia have to check whether 'efg' shared or not then 'def' then 'abc' and finaly E drive

Thanks

There is no such API as far as I know. You have to get all the shares and then manually parse them to see if your directory is shared or not.

If you're asking whether or not you cand tell if a local file/folder is shared, no, I don't think you can.

If you're asking if you can tell if a given remote folder/file is a share, yes you can. You can even determine if it's a connected share, and what the permissions are. I'm pretty sure that WMI will allow you to do all that.
