I know how to create, read and write files in C# now.  I
know how to
check if files exist before reading, etc.  What I'd like to
know is, is
there a way to get a list of files that are in a specific
directory in
C#?

For example, if I wanted to create a C# program that would
scan my
music folder for *.ogg files and then add the filenames to a
text file.
 How would I go about doing this?

Any help would be appreciated.

Sincerely,

Gordon E.

    The DirectoryInfo object is the way to go.  Assuming the string variable holding the directory name is "dir":

if (Directory.Exists(dir))
{
   DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(dir);
   FileInfo [] files = 
di.GetFiles("*.ogg"); 
   foreach(FileInfo info in files)
   {
       ; // Do your thing
   }
}

The FileInfo object has the necessary properties to access the files.  Primarily the Name property, which is just the filename, and the FullName property which is the full path to the file, including directory and file name.
