// DistributionShareInfo.cs

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.IO;
using Microsoft.ComponentStudio.ComponentPlatformInterface;

namespace DistShareInfo
{
	class MyClass
	{
		static void Main(string[] args)
		{
			// Set the catalog directory:
			string myDirectory = @"C:\DistributionShare";

			// Get all catalogs in the specified directory:
			if (DistributionShareInfo.IsDistributionShare(myDirectory))
			{
				Console.WriteLine("OemFolder: {0}",
					DistributionShareInfo.OemFolder);
				Console.WriteLine("OemKeyName: {0}",
					DistributionShareInfo.OemKeyName);
				Console.WriteLine("OutOfBoxDriverExtension: {0}",
					DistributionShareInfo.OutOfBoxDriverExtension);
				Console.WriteLine("OutOfBoxDriversFolder: {0}",
					DistributionShareInfo.OutOfBoxDriversFolder);
				Console.WriteLine("PackageCabExtension: {0}",
					DistributionShareInfo.PackageCabExtension);
