    It sounds to me like you just need to point to a directory on the file system and read all files that end in the extension you are targeting (.aspx, .cshtml, etc.), and perform a parse routine on each one. If so, take a look at the System.IO namespace, starting with:

    Directory.GetFiles()

    Have a look here:

    Though, if you’re going to do that I would think you could leverage the indexing services on the machine if they are present to avoid a lot of IO processing.
