Use the static methods in the type System.IO.Directory.
The method's name is GetFiles(...) and comes with three different signatures:

Excerpt from MSDN:

SQL

String[] GetFiles(String)                        //Returns the names of files (including their paths) in the specified directory.
String[] GetFiles(String, String)                //Returns the names of files (including their paths) that match the specified search pattern in the specified directory.
String[] GetFiles(String, String, SearchOption)  //Returns the names of files (including their paths) that match the specified
                                                   search pattern in the specified directory, using a value to determine whether to search subdirectories.

Regards,

XML

Using this C# code, a window application can access/find all or a specific file (if mentioned) in a Folder.on load
use

&lt;pre lang=&quot;cs&quot;&gt;private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
            string[] array1 = Directory.GetFiles(@&amp;quot;C:\MyTemplates&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;*.docx&amp;quot;);
            foreach (string name in array1) {
                comboBox1.Text = name;
                comboBox1.Items.Add(Path.GetFileName(name));
            }
        }&lt;/pre&gt;</pre>
