To connect to a shared folder in a Windows domain using .NET MAUI in C#, you can use the System.IO and System.Net.NetworkInformation namespaces. Here's a basic example of how to do it:
1. Make sure you have the necessary permissions to access the shared folder in the Windows domain.
2. Add the following using statements to your .NET MAUI C# code file:
```csharp
using System.IO;
using System.Net;
```
3. Use the `DirectoryInfo` and `Directory` classes to access the shared folder:
```csharp
string sharedFolderPath = @"\\ServerName\SharedFolder"; // Replace with the actual path
string username = "domain\\username"; // Replace with your username
string password = "yourPassword"; // Replace with your password
NetworkCredential networkCredential = new NetworkCredential(username, password);
try
{
DirectoryInfo sharedFolder = new DirectoryInfo(sharedFolderPath);
if (sharedFolder.Exists)
{
// Access the files and folders in the shared folder
foreach (var file in sharedFolder.GetFiles())
{
// Do something with the file
}
foreach (var subfolder in sharedFolder.GetDirectories())
{
// Do something with the subfolder
}
}
else
{
// The shared folder does not exist
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
// Handle any exceptions that may occur, e.g., authentication failure
Console.WriteLine("Error: " + ex.Message);
}
```
In this code, replace `"\\ServerName\SharedFolder"`, `"domain\\username"`, and `"yourPassword"` with the actual server name, shared folder path, domain username, and password.
Remember that storing a password in plain text in your code is not recommended for security reasons. You should explore secure methods for handling credentials, such as storing them securely on the device or using other authentication mechanisms if security is a concern.
