I used the FileInfo class to obtain informations about files in the
file system.
I would like to have the same informations for a file in a web url, but
I cannot use FileInfo.
I discovered WebClient from the System.Net namespace, but this gives me
a FileStream in return and not a FileInfo.

Any way to convert a FileStream into FileInfo? Or rather any other way
to have these informations?

Thanks in advance,
ema

You can use UNC path to obtain the same FileInfo. File path will look like
\\server\folder\file.ext

Hello Vadym,
UNC path? Where can I get it?
The only UNC method I found on DSN is from namespace
System.Data.SqlServerCe !!

No, there is not.  Access via an URL generally doesn't provide any
information about the resource other than a name and possibly a
last-modified date.  If you need more information than that, you need more
access than you're going to get via a URL.
