How to set/change folder permission in VB .NET 3.5
Posted on 2008-06-24
Hi,
I am trying to change a folder (and all its sub folders and files) permission in Visual studio 2008 and VB .Net 3.5. Also I can not use windows AD as it is not implemented.
What is the best way to do this?
I have looked around and there is some information about setting file/folder permissions s but its all older stuff and I hear there is new way to do this in VS 2008. But I can not find it.
What I want to do it change a folder (and all files and sub files) permission to full access do stuff and then change it to read only and execute.
I am doing this using Visual Basic and .NET 3.5.
Thanks

'Needed imports
Imports System.Security.AccessControl
Imports System.IO
'Code snippet
Dim CurrentPath as String = "C:\TestPath"
Dim UserName as String = "DOMAIN\MyUser"
Dim dInfo As New DirectoryInfo(CurrentPath)
Dim dSecInfo As DirectorySecurity = dInfo.GetAccessControl(AccessControlSections.Access)
Dim myRuleValue As Integer = 0
myRuleValue = FileSystemRights.FullControl 'Add your wanted Access here
Dim myRule as FileSystemAccessRule
myRule = New FileSystemAccessRule(UserName myRuleValue, InheritanceFlags.ContainerInherit Or InheritanceFlags.ObjectInherit Or InheritanceFlags.None, PropagationFlags.None, AccessControlType.Allow)
dSecInfo.AddAccessRule(myRule)
dSecInfo.SetAccessRule(myRule)
dInfo.SetAccessControl(dSecInfo)
Good code, just one comment, this line needs to have a comma after UserName:
myRule = New FileSystemAccessRule(UserN
dSecInfo.AddAccessRule(myR
dSecInfo.SetAccessRule(myR
dInfo.SetAccessControl(dSe
Open in New Window Select All
myRule = New FileSystemAccessRule(UserN
dSecInfo.AddAccessRule(myR
dSecInfo.SetAccessRule(myR
dInfo.SetAccessControl(dSe
Open in New Window Select All
