Retrieving file names from directory

Deenbandhu Singh

I have some files in my directory.
09001-1.pdf, 09001-2.pdf, 09001-3.pdf, 09001-4.pdf, 09001-5.pdf, 09001-6.pdf, 09001-7.pdf, 09001-8.pdf, 09001-9.pdf, 09001-10.pdf, 09001-11.pdf, 09001-12.pdf, 09001-13.pdf in the same order.
When i wrote code for retrieving files from directory, I got output like this
09001-1.pdf, 09001-10.pdf, 09001-11.pdf, 09001-12.pdf, 09001-13.pdf, 09001-2.pdf, 09001-3.pdf, 09001-4.pdf, 09001-5.pdf, 09001-6.pdf, 09001-7.pdf, 09001-8.pdf, 09001-9.pdf
why is this and how can i get output in the same format as i have files in my directory? Please tell me.

Hi,

When you are retrieve the file from the directory it sort like char base, so see your sequence came like on that way.

try this way

DirectoryInfo info = new DirectoryInfo();
FileInfo[] files = info.GetFiles();
