Question

My directory structure is like below.

Parent directory
—Sub directory 1
—Sub directory 2
——Sub directory2a
——Sub directory2b
—Sub directory 3

I am writing in VB.net to fetch all the directory names (including sub directories in all the levels)

However while using directory.getfilesystementries(path) I am getting only the top level sub directories. Any idea on how to fetch all the subdirectory names of all sub levels?

Answer 1

just use something like this:

Dim result = System.IO.Directory.EnumerateDirectories(path, "*", System.IO.SearchOption.AllDirectories)

the trick is the SearchOption.AllDirectories

BTW: you can do the same with your GetFileSystemEntries-Method
