string sourceFolder = @"C:\MyFolder"; // The folder that contains the files to be added to the image
string isoFile = @"C:\MyImage.iso"; // The path and name of the ISO image file to be created
CreateISOImage(sourceFolder, isoFile);
// Burn the ISO image to a CD-R disc
string recorderId = @"{6BDD1FC6-810F-11D0-BEC7-08002BE2092F}\0001"; // The unique ID of the CD-R drive
BurnISOImage(isoFile, recorderId);
}
static void CreateISOImage(string sourceFolder, string isoFile)
{
// Create a file system image object
