Question

I am new to C#, I want to initialise string of arrays dynamically, how can I achieve it? i.e. first I initialised…

string[] filepaths;

    public void btnGetFiles_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {


       try
       {

            filepaths[] = Directory.GetFiles(@txtGetFile.Text,"*.txt");
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
        }
    }

In filepaths[]it is not getting the directory files. Please help..

Answer 1

This is wrong:

filepaths[] = Directory.GetFiles(@txtGetFile.Text,"*.txt");

Remove the brackets and the (optional) @ symbol from the control name:

filepaths = Directory.GetFiles(txtGetFile.Text,"*.txt");

filepaths is your variable name, so you address it by that.
