Hello!
I'm experimenting with making a simple media player in Visual C# Express edition. I would like to know exacly how to open a directory and list only the .mp3 files or .ogg files in the listview I'm unsure how to do this. If you can point me to a good example or article, I would be very thankful.
Thank you.

hi,
what you asking about is System.IO name space it have directoryinfo and fileinfo classes that you can that, it will be something like that
using System.IO; namespace WindowsApplication1
{
//this form contain listbox and a button public partial class Form1 : Form {
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
FolderBrowserDialog fbd = new FolderBrowserDialog ();
DialogResult reslt = fbd.ShowDialog();
if (reslt == DialogResult.OK)
{
GetSubFiles(fbd.SelectedPath);
}
}
private void GetSubFiles(string path)
{
//getting information about the root folder DirectoryInfo dirinf = new DirectoryInfo(path);
//retrieveing the files and folders from the root folder FileInfo[] Files = dirinf.GetFiles();
foreach (FileInfo File in Files)
{
if (File.Extension == ".mp3" || File.Extension == ".MP3")
{
listBox1.Items.Add(File.Name);
}
}
}
}
}
you can modify it , instead of adding directly to listbox you can use datatable and bindingsource
hope this helps
