Enumerate Devices

Enumerate the optical devices connected to your system.

To enumerate the available devices:

1. Obtain a DeviceEnumerator object by calling the Engine.CreateDeviceEnumerator method.

2. Use the DeviceEnumerator.CreateDevice method to create a Device object.

3. Display the Device.DriveLetter and the Device.Description properties.

private static void EnumerateDevices(Engine engine)
{
    // create device enumerator
    using (var enumerator = engine.CreateDeviceEnumerator())
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < enumerator.Count; i++)
        {
            // create a device; do not ask for exclusive access
            var device = enumerator.CreateDevice(i, false);
            if (null != device)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("({0}:) - {1}",
                    device.DriveLetter, device.Description);
            }
        }
    }
}
