You say it's urgent so please share what effort have you made so far on your own?

What I understand is - you need to read all files from a directory, retrieve the file types and then save all/some of them to database. Why do you want to save it to database if it is already present on the disk on the server? Or do you need the clients to upload files?
Are you sure it's an ASP.NET application?

Poor question: either homework or you've been given work that you don't know how to do. Make some effort to research and learn on your own then ask questions when you get stuck and can show what you have already tried.

You want to use the DirectoryInfo.GetFiles() method. Goole is your friend.
