asp:DropDownList grab data from local directory?

I have a drop down list on my page & want the list items to be folders from a local directory on the web server... ie....

T:\Forms T:\Manuals T:\Software

Here is my code so far...

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo("C:/");
        DirectoryInfo[] dirArray = di.GetDirectories();
        DropDownList1.DataSource = dirArray;
        foreach (DirectoryInfo i in dirArray)
        {
            DropDownList1.DataTextField = i.FullName;
            DropDownList1.DataValueField = i.FullName;
        }
    }

SOLVED

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo("C:/");

        DropDownList1.DataSource = di.GetDirectories();

        DropDownList1.DataBind();

        foreach (DirectoryInfo i in di.GetDirectories())
        {
            DropDownList1.DataTextField = i.FullName;
        }

    }

I would suggest using such a piece of code

  DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(@"e:\");
  ddlFolders.DataSource = di.GetDirectories();
  ddlFolders.DataTextField = "Name";
  ddlFolders.DataValueField = "FullName";
  ddlFolders.DataBind();

You can use 

List<string> dirList=new List<string>();

DirectoryInfo[] DI = new DirectoryInfo(@"T:\Forms\").GetDirectories("*.*",SearchOption.AllDirectories ) ;
foreach (DirectoryInfo D1 in DI)
{
    dirList.Add(D1.FullName);
}

Do that for all three directories and then databind to the list

Check out the

System.IO.DirectoryInfo

and

System.IO.FileInfo

classes. Obviously you will only be able to read the filesystem of the web server
