What is the best way to obtain the Total Disk Size of the Local C
Drive?

I am currently using the ManagementObject class such as :
Dim disk As New ManagementObject("Win32_LogicalDisk.DeviceID=""C:""")
I am however not sure that this is the best way.

With thanks
Dave

Dave,

There is seldom in Net a best choose, take what is the best for you.

If you have version 2005 than you can use as well

Most of us do using an Shared Class/Object not call best, that is not a
reason that you would not use it, however. The reasons are than mostly
theoretical

I hope this helps,

Cor
