Question

Directory.GetFiles() returns all files, even those that are marked as hidden. Is there a way to get a list of files that excludes hidden files?

Answer 1

This should work for you:

DirectoryInfo directory = new DirectoryInfo(@"C:\temp");
FileInfo[] files = directory.GetFiles();

var filtered = files.Where(f => !f.Attributes.HasFlag(FileAttributes.Hidden));

foreach (var f in filtered)
{
    Debug.WriteLine(f);
}
