How do I retrieve disk information in C#?

I need a .net c# code example to detect each server's drive space.
I also want step by step implementation instructions.

I would rather teach you to fish, than giving you a fish. Which part of logic you are not able to sort out? — Pradeep, Mar 14 '11 at 11:24

You can use the DriveInfo.GetDrives method to retrieve an array of logical drives on a machine.

Example:

var nameAndFreeSpaceOfDrives = from drive in DriveInfo.GetDrives()
                               where drive.IsReady
                               select new { drive.Name, drive.TotalFreeSpace };

You also can use management objects to obtain free space:

        using System.Management;
        .........
        ManagementObject disk = new ManagementObject("win32_logicaldisk.deviceid=\"c:\"");
        disk.Get();
        MessageBox.Show(disk["FreeSpace"] + " bytes");

You also have to add reference to System.Management assembly manualy
