Hi gani,

NetWork Path Should give like Below:

string Path = "~/USTANG/Proj1"; or
string Path =@"/USTANG/Proj1";

Code:
<pre lang="vb">Dim newpath As String = "file:" & path
Dim dirInfo As New System.IO.DirectoryInfo(newpath)
GridView1.DataSource = dirInfo.GetDirectories
GridView1.DataBind()</pre>
