It may be because the buffer that hold directory name is not large enough ? Thank you.

I asked ChatGPT to rewrite the HasDirectoryWritePermission function, and it is now working properly:

   Public Function HasDirectoryWritePermission() As Boolean
       Try
           Dim writeAllow As Boolean = False

           ' Replace FolderName with the actual path you're checking
           Dim ACRules = New DirectoryInfo(folderName).GetAccessControl().GetAccessRules(True, True, GetType(Security.Principal.NTAccount))
           If ACRules Is Nothing Then Return False

           Dim identity = Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent()
           Dim principal = New Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal(identity)

           For Each rule As FileSystemAccessRule In ACRules
               If (rule.FileSystemRights And FileSystemRights.Write) = FileSystemRights.Write Then
                   Dim identityReference = rule.IdentityReference

                   ' Check the type of identityReference
                   If TypeOf identityReference Is Security.Principal.NTAccount Then
                       Dim ntAccount As Security.Principal.NTAccount = DirectCast(identityReference, Security.Principal.NTAccount)
                       If principal.IsInRole(ntAccount.Value) Then
                           If rule.AccessControlType = AccessControlType.Deny Then
                               Return False
                           End If
                           writeAllow = True
                       End If
                   ElseIf TypeOf identityReference Is Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier Then
                       ' Handle SecurityIdentifier if needed
                       ' You can choose to handle SecurityIdentifier differently if required.
                       ' For example, you could log or skip these cases.
                       ' For now, let's just log a message.
                       Console.WriteLine("Found a SecurityIdentifier: " & DirectCast(identityReference, Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier).ToString())
                   End If
               End If
           Next

           Return writeAllow

       Catch ex As UnauthorizedAccessException
           ' Handle unauthorized access exception
           Console.WriteLine("UnauthorizedAccessException: " & ex.Message)
           Return False
       Catch ex As Exception
           ' Handle other exceptions
           Console.WriteLine("Exception occurred: " & ex.Message)
           Return False
       End Try
   End Function
