Assuming it's a Windows Forms application try something like this: private void button1_Click(object sender EventArgs e) { string folderPath = textBox1.Text.Trim(); if (folderPath.Length == 0) { MessageBox.Show(Please enter a folder path in the textbox); textBox1.Focus(); return; } if (Directory.Exists(folderPath)) { string[] filePaths = Directory.GetFiles(folderPath); // add the file names to a listbox say listBox1.Items.Clear(); foreach (string filePath in filePaths) { listBox1.Items.Add(Path.GetFileName(filePath)); } } else { MessageBox.Show(Folder does not exist); } }
