populating list box with file names

thanks very much for your help! i still cant quite afford a book so its hard for me to look up examples of some things! ryan

We'll assume your ListBox name is lb. Then: DirectoryInfo di=new DirectoryInfo(path);//path is a string representing the desired search folder FileInfo[] fi=di.GetFiles(searchstring);//search string would be in your case "*.pyr" foreach(FileInfo tmpfi in fi) lb.Items.Add(tmpfi.Name);
