  Thanks alot!
  
  But I still wonder if there is a way to get a string of the file that is currently being
  checked, because it might take much time to check and I can't let the user just wait
  and think that the program crashed.

  Try this:
  Dim files As ReadOnlyCollection(Of String)
  files = My.Computer.FileSystem.FindInFiles("C:\", "Text To Search For", True, FileIO.SearchOption.SearchAllSubDirectories, "*.txt")

  You can also find useful snippets of code if you right click in the editor and choose:
  Insert Snippet--->File system -Processing Drives, Foders, and Files

  To follow up what ParamArray is; it allows you to create functions that take an arbitrary number of parameters. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/vbls7/html/vblrfvbspec7_1_6_4.asp for a detailed description.

  The reason that the compiler complains in this case is that you are using it when *calling* the function. The compiler only expects to see this where you define your function.

  Public Sub MyFunction(ParamArray paramters() as String)
  End Sub

  can be called like:

  MyFunction()
  MyFunction("Zpp")
  MyFunction("Foo", "Bar")

  or even

  MyFunction("Foo", "Bar", "Doo", "Daa", "Tjo", "Knatte", "Fnatte", "Tjatte")
  
  but not like

  MyFunction(ParamArray "Foo", "Bar")

  Ok, i found some code , but i dont understand what the 'paramArray' is.
  It keeps giving error.
  

  Dim filePaths As StringfilePaths = My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles("C:\",FileIO.SearchOption.SearchAllSubDirectories, ParamArray wildcards("*.*")As String) MessageBox.Show(filePaths)
