DirectoryInfo dir = new DirectoryInfo(@"F:\MyFolder"); FileInfo[] files = dir.GetFiles("*.*"); Foreach(FileInfo f in files ) { Console.WriteLine("Name is : {0}", f.Name); Console.WriteLine("Length of the file is : {0}", f.Length); Console.WriteLine("Creation time is : {0}", f.CreationTime); Console.WriteLine("Attributes of the file are : {0}", f.Attributes.ToString()); } Ref: Working with Files in C#[^] File Information using C#[^] Hope it helps.

Hi, You need to use the System.IO namespace. The following code will get you all files in a folder as strings in a string array, including the folder path: string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(@"c:\MyXMLFolder"); Everything you will need to work with files can be found in System.IO. Regards, Toby
