I think this is what you are looking for. Basically I am getting the fileinfo list in variable k and grouping it by date of creation and generating another list x that holds the date and count of files. Now the next step is to just compare your date with the key list from x. In my case I have chosen to go with date picker instead of text box. so you can make appropriate modifications. DirectoryInfodinfo= new DirectoryInfo(path); vark=dinfo.GetFiles( *.* SearchOption.TopDirectoryOnly); varx=k.GroupBy(i=>i.CreationTime.Date.Date).Select(g=> new {k=g.Keyc=g.Count()}); DateTime?dt=dtpicker.SelectedDate; //Youcanmentionthestringintextboxthatrepresentsdatehere. if (x.Select(i=>i.k).ToList().Contains(dt.Value)) { MessageBox.Show(x.Where(j=>j.k==dt).First().c.ToString()); } // else show count as 0. Please mark it as answer if it resolves the issue.
