Hi,
If you use MFC, you can benefit from CFileFind[^] class.
Otherwise, you can use these functions FindFirstFile(...)[^], FindNextFile(...)[^], FindFirstFileEx(...)[^] and FindClose(...)[^]

The reason I dont want to use MFC classes is that latter i want to integrate this code in Windows Form Application & I read somewhere that you can not use MFC classes with windows header files/Applications..Is that true?

I don't exactly know but I don't think so. If you don't want to use MFC, CPallini's solution is right for you. You may want to add it recursion and skipping '.' dirs.

You may use, recursing into directories, the technique show in this MSDN example: "Listing the Files in a Directory"[^].
