Directory Files

Question

I have a directory with several files and want to populate a combobox with all of these file names. What class should I use to do this to itterate through the directory?

this might do it: // Only get files that begin with the letter "c." string[] dirs = Directory.GetFiles(@"c:\", "c*"); Console.WriteLine("The number of files starting with c is {0}.", dirs.Length); foreach (string dir in dirs) { Console.WriteLine(dir); } and also: DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(@"c:\"); // Get only subdirectories that contain the letter "p." DirectoryInfo[] dirs = di.GetDirectories("*p*"); Console.WriteLine("Number of directories with a p: {0}", dirs.Length); // Count all the files in each subdirectory that contain the letter "e." foreach (DirectoryInfo diNext in dirs) { Console.WriteLine("The number of files in {0} with an e is {1}", diNext, diNext.GetFiles("*e*").Length); } Happy coding
