"Couldn't able to succeed"? It's not informative. What have you tried so far?
The problem is way too simple, with one little twist: you have to ignore the file system object the user is not permitted to see.

Solution 3

This code may help you:

C#

String[] dirs = System.IO.Directory.GetDirectories("C:\\");
int i;
for (i = 0; i < dirs.Length; i++)
{
    listBox1.Items.Add(dirs[i]);
}
String[] files = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles("C:\\");
for (i = 0; i < files.Length; i++)
{
    listBox1.Items.Add(files[i]);
}
