NetWork Drives

Question

How can you account for network drives in C#? For example, the drive may be \\ServerName\\folder\\ and I may have it mapped to N:\\folder\\ & you may have it mapped to Q:\\folder\\

If I try to write the code as \\ServerName\\folder I get an error that says can not find C:\\ServerName\\folder

To use a UNC path you need to redouble the backslashes preceding the server name i.e. // either string path = \\ServerName\folder\; // or string path = @\ServerName\folder\;
