.net - Any "virtual filesystem classes" available for storing filesystem folder and file information? -

using vb.net, i'm scanning remote filesystem recursively via unc folder , file information (filesizes, etc) , having several times. i'd able scan drive once, storing folder , file info need object(s) can later info though original filesystem, perhaps faster. i'd serialize info later use if possible.

is there dotnet class of object can use this?
