once i have those files how do i convert those files to object list

EnumerateFiles method returns IEnumerable of string. So, you can easily convert it into Listof object. All you need to do is to use Cast method.
Good luck!

Hi,

Please find below code.you can use it in ur own way.

  static List<string> _list;
      list = new List<string>();
  foreach (string file in Directory.GetFiles(baseFolderPath, "*.xml"))
{
 _list.Add(file);
}

this can be done in a controller method using mvc right?

Prasad Nikumbh 8-Jan-19 4:16am

yes you can use the above code in your own way in controller action method.

Seems a very long winded way of doing

List<string> _list = Directory.GetFiles(baseFolderPath, "*.xml").ToList();

There is also an error with

list = new List<string>();

I have commented there ..you can use it in ur own way.I think the person added the query might have got it..

If you are new to c# development.

Please see the below corrected code:

_list = new List<string>();

This is you have to create instance at the time when u need it.

and globally you can declare like this:
static List<string> _list;

And one thing,this is just one way.you can use it any other way as in MVC we can use in our Business Layer or Action Method also.

Thanks

If I was new to c# I wouldn't have spotted the bug nor known that the loop was unnecessary :laugh:
