For example, given the folder: C:\images\a

For just simple string paths, you can use the GetFiles static method in the Directory class (System.IO).

string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(path, "*.jpg", SearchOption.AllDirectories);

For more information about the files, you could use the DirectoryInfo class to retrieve FileInfo objects about each file.

FileInfo[] fileInfos = new DirectoryInfo(path).GetFiles("*.jpg", SearchOption.AllDirectories);
