you can use Directoryinfor class and query directories in it. Example: string strDirPath="D:\Dir"; DirectoryInfor dinfor=new DirectoryInfor(strDirPath); foreach(DirectoryInfor d in dinfor.GetDirectories()) { listbox.item.add(d.FullName); }

hi, yes with the help of GetDirectories method of DirectoryInfo object you can get list of all folder with in given folder. var k = new System.IO.DirectoryInfo(@"D:	est"); foreach (var p in k.GetDirectories()) { Console.WriteLine(p.FullName); } Please refer http://www.developerfusion.com/code/4359/listing-files-folders-in-a-directory/ hope this will help you.
