Hello Bruce,
I checked .NET 2.0 reference, but did not find any documented classes for basic Security ACE or DACL, so you may have to use Win32 API's to
get and set file system ACL's. Here is a link for complete .NET2.0 document, I think you might have interest to take a look:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/default.aspx

Besides Win32 Security APIs, WMI provides another way to control ACLs for filesystem objects, you can get reference from:
[Win32_SecurityDescriptor]
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wmisdk/wmi/win32_securitydescriptor.asp

WMI exposes 2 namespace for you to use, they are
[System.Management and System.Management.Instrumentation Namespaces]
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpguide/html/cpconsystemmanagementandsystemmanagementinstrumentationnamespaces.asp

For how to use then, please reference topics under:
[Managing Applications Using WMI]
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpguide/html/cpconmanagingapplicationsusingwmi.asp

Hope this helps. And if there is anything more I can help, please feel free to let me know.

Thanks,
