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;
}
}
