VB.NET to C# - my.computer.getfiles()

Question

What is the equivalent C# code for this VB.NET code?

My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles(....)

Answer 1

The My class is VB.NET specific.

You can use the static methods of the System.IO.Directory class - e.g. Directory.GetFiles.

Answer 2

You can use the VB.Net's "My" in C#. It's all code, after all. In your C# project, you'd simply add a reference to Microsoft.VisualBasic

I don't think there is anything in 'My' that you can't achieve without using it; but just because you aren't programming in VB.Net you have to not use it.

Having said all that - most architect type people I know would roll their eyes at you if they saw you adding a reference to VisualBasic in a C# project. But it's totally doable.
