C# location of file in ditectory structure

Question

In a C# 2008 windows application I planning on locating files that I need to find by utilizing the following code: var RFiles = from path in Directory.EnumerateFiles(filesaveLocation *.* SearchOption.AllDirectories) let extension = Path.GetExtension(path) where extension == .pdf || extension == .xlsx || extension == .xls select path; However once I find each selected file I need to know the exact location of where each specified file was located. I need to be able to store the exact directory structure location in a sql server 2008 r2 database. Basically the code statement would be similar to tell me exactly where each seelcted file is located at. Thus can you me in code and/or explain to me how to accomplish my goal?

Unless I'm missing something here the query you have should return the full path of the selected files not just their names?

Yes it will return the full path of the file. See the docs for Directory.EnumerateFiles and in particular the Return Value section: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd383571.aspx If you want to extract the path of the directory in which the file resides you can use string dirPath = Path.GetDirectoryName(path);
