Surely there's a way to get at that list of open files and just filter out any that have the user's path in there?<br />
I can view it in the Shared Folders applet, so it's being stored somewhere, I would think...?

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a console app I'm working on where I retrieve a remote share/path.<br />
Whether the user data on that server is a share, or not, I want to determine if the user is using the data.<br />
In the case of a share, the path would be \\server\userID$<br />
In the other instance, the user would be setup on folder redirection, and their data path would be \\server\frdata$\userID (share would be frdata$, but the userID would not be a share, simply a subfolder in the share).<br />
<br />
I think I can perform the logic for the above, but I need to know how I would determine if the parent folder (or anything therein) is in use. &nbsp;Locally on the console, I would bring up fsmgmt.msc and check the Open Files listings for that path...<br />

I found vbscript code (<a href="http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2005/02/16/how-can-i-list-open-sessions-and-open-files-on-a-computer.aspx" rel="ugc">http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2005/02/16/how-can-i-list-open-sessions-and-open-files-on-a-computer.aspx</a>), but wanted to know if there was anything suited for vb.net that I could use instead...?

Visual Studio 2010 - determine remote share/path in use

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) is an object-oriented programming language implemented on the .NET framework, but also supported on other platforms such as Mono and Silverlight. Microsoft launched VB.NET as the successor to the Visual Basic language. Though it is similar in syntax to  Visual Basic pre-2002, it is not the same technology,
