I have 2 questions:

1 I want to get all file's name in a folder.How can I do this?
2 How can I separate first 8 characters of a word?

I wanna make a c# windows form app that is able to get a folder address and separate the pictures that their name is equal(first 8 characters show the date they had taken)
I search the web and I found a solution but it doesn't work that is using the "system.linq" class.visual studio doesn't recognize this class!
Thanks

Paste your code here - the numbered questions have little to do with linq...

Solution 2

Linq should be recognized, update your VS' also:
make sure you have written in that specific class "using System.Linq;"

1) Use Directory.GetFiles[^]. See: http://www.csharp-examples.net/get-files-from-directory/[^]
2) Use Substring[^] method. See: http://www.dotnetperls.com/substring[^]
