Question

How do I load data from the local disk into a gridview?
The data is mp3 files. But text files should be an option too.
And it’s not the content of the text file I want, just the file name.
This goes for mp3 files too.

Answer 1

you can use this code :

DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo("your DriverName://");
dataGridView1.DataSource = di.GetDirectories();

or you can use Linq for filter,…

DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo("your DriverName://")
var query = from p in di.GetDirectories()
            where p.Extension=="*.mp3"
            select new {Name=p.FullName };
 dataGridView1.DataSource = query.ToList();

and for get Directory Name:

DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo("your DriverName://");
var query = from p in di.GetDirectories()
            select new { DirectoryName=p.FullName};
dataGridView1.DataSource = query.ToList();
