Best way to manipulate Windows ACL permissions

Question

My goal is to find out how to programmatically adjust permissions on files & directories in Windows using .NET.

I have identified the following options:

1. Windows API (yuck!)
2. Active Directory Service Interfaces (COM... ugh...)
3. Windows PowerShell (?)
4. Google for an easy-to-use facade.

None of these seem very palatable to me. Which route would you guys take? Perhaps there's another way?

Answer 1

You can do this type of thing using the FileSecurity class
