Network drive label

Question

Network drive label

I am trying to get the label of some network shares displayed as drives. When I use DriveInfo.GetDrives () the local volumes have a populated VolumeLabel as expected, but on network drives it is an empty string. How can I get these tags?

You can use WMI to do this - not sure about the exact query (it has been for a while), but here's an example of how to get free space on a network drive:

I think that replacing "name" with "VolumeName" in this example will give you what you need.

The WMI link is here just in case:
