Nifty answer for C# UNC path checking

[peewee_RotA]

[DllImport("shlwapi.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Unicode)]
[ResourceExposure(ResourceScope.None)]
[return: MarshalAsAttribute(UnmanagedType.Bool)]
internal static extern bool PathIsUNC([MarshalAsAttribute(UnmanagedType.LPWStr), In] string pszPath);

I have to say that the ability to Marshal unmanaged code bits into C# fixes all of my reservations of the fact that it's a managed language.

As an aside, here's the Ruby equivalent:

  PathIsUNC = Win32API.new('shlwapi', 'PathIsUNC', 'P', 'I')
