searching a perticular folder in harddisk..

thanks slysle....one more small probs....

My application is like the user will get a form with "My Document" icon. When user clicks that icon

I need to keep the folder as backUp in the server.

I need to convert that whole folder into Byte and then send.

Is there sumway to convert this folder into byte before sending it.

I assume that you are talking about searching a particular folder for some specific file or file type; add using System.IO; to the form first, then use the Directory.GetFiles function to find the file or file types.

This example searches the Temp folder for any jpg files.  This uses the asterik to perform a wildcard search for any files with that extension.  You can replace that with the name of a specific file to search for something like "mydog.jpg" in the same folder.

The GetFiles functions is overloaded by in this example it accepts two arguments, the search location and the search pattern.

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
     string[] files;
     files = Directory.GetFiles("C:\\Temp", "*.jpg");
     for (int i = 0; i < files.Length; i++)
     {
          listBox1.Items.Add(files[i]);
     }
}
