as c# view :
return all file and use list processing algorithms or simply use linq to any post processing

XML

string[] fa = { "test_schemaoky", "farshad", "_schemafarshad", "saeidi" };
            List<string> fl = new List<string>();
            fl.AddRange(fa);
            List<string> f2=fl.FindAll(itm => itm.IndexOf("_schema")==-1);

Directory.GetFiles does not contain a NOT option.
The way to go about it is to get all files in folder, then "query" each of them with a string operation

C#

string[] fileEntries = Directory.GetFiles(targetDirectory);

foreach(string fileName in fileEntries)
{

     if (!fileName.EndsWith("_schema.xml"))
          actions...

}

That way, if the file name does not contain such string, the "if" statement will kick in.
