I cant seem to figure out how to determine if a folder is read-only through VB .NET. Any help? Thanks

The attributes property is a bitwise flag, so you actually want to use something like this:
[codesnippet]Dim myDirectory As New System.IO.DirectoryInfo("C:\TEMP")
If (myDirectory.Attributes And System.IO.FileAttributes.ReadOnly) = System.IO.FileAttributes.ReadOnly Then
' Add your code here.
End If[/codesnippet]

Hi,

Try the following code:

[quote][codesnippet]

Dim myDirectory As New System.IO.DirectoryInfo("C:\TEMP")

If myDirectory.Attributes = System.IO.FileAttributes.ReadOnly Then

' Add your code here.

End If
