All sub-drectories not shown in ListView

I'm scanning through a directory and want to display the sub-directories in list view. Surprisingly I can only see some of the directories, others are not shown. I tried debugging it and it scans through all sub-directories, but just don't display all. Could you help me figure out the problem? I guess I'm doing something wrong with the use of listview.

Here is my code.

C#

foreach (DirectoryInfo di in dir.GetDirectories())
{
   ListViewItem item = new ListViewItem();
   item.ImageIndex = 0;
   item.Text = di.Name;
   item.Tag = di.FullName;
   listView_Files.Items.Add(item);
}

Thanks.

Did you try using the SearchOptions parameter for GetDirectories()?

C#

DirectoryInfo dir = new DirectoryInfo("");
foreach (DirectoryInfo di in dir.GetDirectories("*.*", SearchOption.AllDirectories)
{
}

Correct. Also can use Directory class, same option. My 5.

C#

DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(@"C:\Windows");
DirectoryInfo[] _allDirectories = di.GetDirectori("*.*",SearchOption.AllDirectories)
foreach (var item in _allDirectories)
{
   ListViewItem item = new ListViewItem();
   item.ImageIndex = 0;
   item.Text = di.Name;
   item.Tag = di.FullName;
   listView_Files.Items.Add(item);
}

I tried the above options but didn't help. I wanted to display the directories of the top level only. I also tried using the below which didn't solve either.

DirectoryInfo[] _allDirectories = dir.GetDirectories("*.*", SearchOption.TopDirectoryOnly);

I am not able to figure out why some of the directories are skipped. Are there any diectory settings used by the listview? I see no difference in properties of directory which are skipped and the ones shown :(
