In .net Directory.GetFiles method used to get files from specific path.

Below code mentioned in link make changes in foreach loop as you need. This loop give you filename and you can compare it.

public static void ProcessDirectory(string targetDirectory) 
{
    // Process the list of files found in the directory.
    string [] fileEntries = Directory.GetFiles(targetDirectory);
    foreach(string fileName in fileEntries)
      Do work here which you need.
}
