I just want the C# code that would mount my USB drive and unmount also

On Windows (do you mean Windows applications?), removable drives are auto-mounted; you don't need code to mount them. But you may need to unmount one, by a number of reasons. One way: it can be done using WMI.

I think you didn't get my actual point.
Suppose I plugin USB in laptop, that will be automounted. Now I want to unmount that USB from C# code and again mount with C# code.

Can you help now please?

To get your actual point understood, you have to make this point. All I could see is that you wanted to mount and unmount it. You did not mentione "again mount" in first place. Why? I understand why unmounting, don't understand why mounting again...

this is requirement of my project

Please, I am not asking what is your requirement. I am asking why mounting. If you are meeting requirements not asking why, as those people who gave your requirements. Why asking us? I want to talk to a person capable of making decisions. If you are not the one, ask those who tell you what to do. Isn't that fair?

because i don't know how to do this with c# code. That's why asking here

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 31-Mar-15 14:16pm

Before you posted your comment, I already had the answer posted. Did you read it?
Anyway, you cannot generally assume that people will spend time for answering you, if you deny to answer "why" questions...

Great. Will you accept the answer formally, or what?

Please see my comments to the question.

Basically, "mounting" means this: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa365561%28v=vs.85%29.aspx.

With C# along, you can call these functions using P/Invoke:

Alternative approach is using WMI.
