I have noticed not a lot of people know how to get the basic IO.file Owner information of a file/dir so i will show an example that you can play around with. :thumbup1:


'Required for The Directory Query.
'Required for The NT User Account Query.

Imports System.IO

Imports System.Security

Imports System.Security.Principal

Just Add this to a form, and add a reference to it in the form load events or a button event.

Public sub getowner()

          Try

                Dim Target_Dir as string

                Dim di As New DirectoryInfo(Target_Dir)

                Dim ds As AccessControl.DirectorySecurity = di.GetAccessControl()

                Dim owner As NTAccount = CType(ds.GetOwner(GetType(NTAccount)), NTAccount)

                msgbox("File Owner: " & owner.ToString)

            Catch ex As Exception

                msgbox("File Owner Error: " & ex.Message)

            End Try

end sub

Hope this helps anyone who is looking.

Cheers
