There is no native function in the current implementation of the framework that transforms a path into a directory mapped to your network URI. You can, however, implement a function:
public static class Pathing
{
[DllImport("mpr.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Unicode, SetLastError = true)]
public static extern int WNetGetConnection(
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPTStr)] string localName,
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPTStr)] StringBuilder remoteName,
ref int length);
/// <summary>
/// Given a path, returns the UNC path or the original. (No exceptions
/// are raised by this function directly). For example, "P:08-02-29"
/// might return: "\networkserver\Shares\Photos08-02-09"
/// </summary>
/// <param name="originalPath">The path to convert to a UNC Path</param>
/// <returns>A UNC path. If a network drive letter is specified, the
/// drive letter is converted to a UNC or network path. If the
/// originalPath cannot be converted, it is returned unchanged.</returns>
public static string GetUNCPath(string originalPath)
{
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(512);
int size = sb.Capacity;
// look for the {LETTER}: combination ...
if (originalPath.Length > 2 && originalPath[1] == ':')
{
// don't use char.IsLetter here - as that can be misleading
// the only valid drive letters are a-z && A-Z.
char c = originalPath[0];
if ((c >= 'a' && c <= 'z') || (c >= 'A' && c <= 'Z'))
{
int error = WNetGetConnection(originalPath.Substring(0, 2),
sb, ref size);
if (error == 0)
{
DirectoryInfo dir = new DirectoryInfo(originalPath);
string path = Path.GetFullPath(originalPath)
.Substring(Path.GetPathRoot(originalPath).Length);
return Path.Combine(sb.ToString().TrimEnd(), path);
}
}
}
return originalPath;
}
}
In your example, GetUNCPath("Z:\programas\aplicativos") will return the string "\BRJGSD090\suporte$\programas\aplicativos" .
