DirectoryInfo directoryInfo = new DirectoryInfo(@"c:\temptest");
directoryInfo.Attributes = directoryInfo.Attributes | FileAttributes.ReadOnly;
Unfortunately this won't really do much, because there is not much meaning to setting a directory to readonly. You more likely want to limit write access to a user or group of users through Active Directory. Below is a link on codeproject that tells you how to do almost anything you can think of to restricting permissions to a directory:
