    :) anyway I found the solution...sorry for bothering you

    DirectoryInfo dir = new DirectoryInfo("c:/images/");
    FileInfo[] imageFiles = dir.GetFiles("*.*");
    foreach (FileInfo file in imageFiles)
    {
    if (file.Extension.Equals(".bmp") || file.Extension.Equals(".jpg"))
    {
    listBox1.Items.Add(Convert.ToString(file.Name));
    }
    }

    Sorry, i readed your question wrong. Thought you want to rename the files. For getting bmp and jpg files you can use:


    String[] files = Directory.GetFiles( directoryRoot, "*.bmp;*.jpg" );

    foreach( String file in files )
    {
    Console.WriteLine( "Found: " + Path.GetFileName(files) );
    }

    Thanks for the fast reply, but with your code you first retrieve all files and them filter them out. And compare them case-sencetive.

    Here is a little self-explaining example:


    public void RenameAllBmpToJpg( string directoryRoot )
    {
    String[] files = Directory.GetFiles( directoryRoot, "*.bmp" );

    foreach( String file in files )
    {
    String destFileName = Path.ChangeExtension( file, ".jpg" );
    File.Move( file, destFileName );
    }
    }
