Use either the DirectoryInfo . GetFiles Method or the Directory . EnumerateFiles Method.

The following will get a list of file names in a given directory (top level only). There's no error checking whatsoever, so I leave you to add that if you need it: using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.IO; class Program { static void Main() { Console.Write("Enter directory : "); string directory = Console.ReadLine(); List list = GetFiles(directory); Console.WriteLine(); foreach(string name in list) Console.WriteLine(name); Console.ReadKey(); } static List GetFiles(string directory) { string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(directory); List list = new List (); foreach(string file in files) { string name = Path.GetFileName(file); list.Add(name); } return list; } }
