Here[^] is the MSDN page for DirectoryInfo class. This page has an excellent example on how to use it. You should book mark the MSDN Homepage[^] for future reference, and your first option, if you don't know how to do something, should always be to open that page and search for what you need. You will learn things much quicker that way, as well as learning the proper way to do things.

Hope it helps you.

Solution 2

It's simple: you need to look at the lines that are executed before the For Each statement.
Somewhere there will be the equivalent of:

VB

Dim dirInfo As New DirectoryInfo(path)

Solution 3

More to it, GetFiles returns string array, so you cannot use for each as shown in that code anyway.
