Solution 2

Easy as this

string[] folders = System.IO.Directory.GetDirectories(@"C:\My Sample Path\","*", System.IO.SearchOption.AllDirectories);

If you get Access denied message, run your visual studio as administrator.

Thanks & Regard
SHAM :)

Hi
you have to provide the full path for the folder from where you are looking the files.

C#

String[] allfiles = null;
            allfiles = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles("C://Users/.NET v2.0", "*.*", System.IO.SearchOption.AllDirectories);

As in users folder there are few folder on which you don't have access, that's why you are getting this error or you can run your VS as administrator.
