Alternative Managed API:

Do you know one? Please contribute it!

Notes:

The GetSystemFileCacheSize will never return the 'Disable' flags (2 & 8).

None.

Tips & Tricks:

Please add some!

Sample Code:

   [DllImport("kernel32", SetLastError = true)]
    public static extern bool GetSystemFileCacheSize(
    ref IntPtr lpMinimumFileCacheSize,
    ref IntPtr lpMaximumFileCacheSize,
    ref int lpFlags
    ref IntPtr lpFlags
    );

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {        
    IntPtr lpMinimumFileCacheSize = IntPtr.Zero;
    IntPtr lpMaximumFileCacheSize = IntPtr.Zero;
    File_Cache_Flags lpFlags;
    IntPtr lpFlags = IntPtr.Zero;

    bool b = GetSystemFileCacheSize(ref lpMinimumFileCacheSize, ref lpMaximumFileCacheSize, ref lpFlags);
    if(!b)
        throw new Win32Exception();

    Console.WriteLine(lpMinimumFileCacheSize);
    Console.WriteLine(lpMaximumFileCacheSize);
    }
