Hi,

Wrote the below code to check. But getting following error message

private void WriteToCard()
{

try
{
using (System.IO.Stream sourceStream = new System.IO.FileStream(@"C:\\Temp\\Test1.bin", System.IO.FileMode.Open))
{
if (sourceStream == null)
{
throw new Exception("Cannot open filestream to read from \"" + "\\\\.\\PhysicalDrive1");
}

using (System.IO.Stream writeStream = new System.IO.FileStream("\\\\.\\PhysicalDrive1", System.IO.FileMode.OpenOrCreate))
{
if (writeStream == null)
{
throw new Exception("Cannot open filestream to save to \"" + "\\\\.\\PhysicalDrive" + "1" + "\".");
}


byte[] buffer = new byte[4096];
sourceStream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);

writeStream.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
}
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}
}

and the exception is "FileStream will not open 32 bit devices such as disk partitions and tape drives. Avoid the use "\\.\" in teh application"

Thanks

hi..

i tried the following

DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(@"e:\\test");
if (di.Attributes == FileAttributes.ReadOnly)
{
MessageBox.Show("Read only");
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("No");
}

but it returns "No" all the time.
