Getting files recursively: skip files/directories that cannot be read?

Question

I want to get all of the files in a directory in an array (including the files in subfolders)

string[] filePaths = Directory.GetFiles(@\"c:\\\",SearchOption.         


        

Answer 1

or try this one :

        DirectoryInfo dirs = new DirectoryInfo(@"c:\");
        List filenames = (from i in dirs.GetFiles("*", SearchOption.AllDirectories)
                                  select i.Name).ToList();

or file names without extension :

        DirectoryInfo dirs = new DirectoryInfo@"c:\");
        List filenames = (from i in dirs.GetFiles("*", SearchOption.AllDirectories)
                                  select System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(i.Name)).ToList();
