how to check the directory attributes as readonly and hidden in C# winforms

[shivanee]

Hello all,

I want to check whether the directory/folder attributes are set to readonly and hidden.

So, how do I check this in the c# winforms 2003?

If they are found to be readonly and hidden then I want to uncheck the readonly checkbox and hidden checkbox using c# winforms.

I want to check it for the directory only and not for the files.

Please help me?

Thanks in advance.

Hello all,

I just want to remove readonly and hidden attributes using the c# code of the directory an not the file.

But, when I am unchecking the readonly checkbox manually by right clicking the folder ---> Properties, and uncheck the readonly attribute, it is not setting it i.e, when I again right click the forlder and goes into properties, it is showing it as readonly again.

So, how Can I set this readonly manually as well as using the c# winform code?


Please help me out
Thanks in advance.
