• Visual C# Getting name of cd in cdrom

  I can use the Directory and DirectoryInfo to get every bit of information about the files contained on a CD in the drive.  I can use the DriveInfo to get all the specifications about the CDRom with the exception of the Name assigned to the actual CD.  The best I can get is the Drive letter and volume label.  The volume label is not always the same as the cd name.  For example, I have my bluetooth driver CD in at the moment.&n ...Show All
