Question

I would like to get all the files that a sub-folder holds in a string array.

So, I have tried something like the following:

var IOstore = IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForApplication();
string searchpath = System.IO.Path.Combine("product", ProductName);
string filesInSubDirs[] = IOstore.GetFileNames(searchpath);

But I got all the files in the “product” folder. I have also tried with “productname” only as the parameter.

Thanks for your help.

The search pattern for a sub-folder needs to include “*.*” at the end to pattern match any file, which would make your code something like the following:

var IOstore = IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForApplication();
string searchpath = System.IO.Path.Combine("product", ProductName);
searchpath = string.Format("{0}\\*.*", searchpath);
string filesInSubDirs[] = IOstore.GetFileNames(searchpath);
