List files recursively in C#

To get the list of files in a directory, use the SearchOptions.AllDirectories in C#.

Firstly, set the directory for which you want the files −

string[] myFiles = Directory.GetFiles("D:\\New\\", "*.*", SearchOption.AllDirectories);

The following is an example displaying files from the above mentioned directory −

Example

using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.IO;
class Program {
   static void Main() {
      string[] myFiles = Directory.GetFiles("D:\\New\\", "*.*", SearchOption.AllDirectories);
      foreach (string res in myFiles) {
         Console.WriteLine(res);
      }
   }
}

Output

The following is the output. It lists all the directories of the folder −

D:\New\one.txt
D:\New\two.html
