Looking for Freespace on a diskette

[KreativeKai]

I'm not sure how to find freespace on a diskette. I've searched MSDN, but only found examples of VB6 and scripting examples.

I'm trying to find a VB.NET solution. Does anyone have any sample code where they look up how much space a file will take and then check how much space is available on the target drive the file is going to be transfered to?

Any help is appreciated.

I don't have any code (never had to do this), but you would look at how many bytes you're trying to write, divide by the cluster size that the media uses, rounding up. (floppies are different from hard drives), then look at the remaining number of clusters on the device to see if it will fit.

Thanks Chip,
I found the following code on freevbcode.com:

I created a class library using this code sample, and any programs I have that need this info can reference the class for info.

Thanks again for the info.
