What do you mean by retrieve? You want image name?

Based on your comment to JSOP's answer: try

string[] filenames = Directory.GetFiles(path);
Image image = Image.FromFile(filenames[0]);

You might want to sort the returned list first, as the order in which you get files is either undefined or defined in a complicated way that basically means you can't rely on a sensible order.

how to use its path on server?

Solution 5

C#

string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(@"D:\Photo\", "*.jpg", SearchOption.AllDirectories);

this row can get for you only array of file names, for example:

C#

files[0] == @"D:\Photo\1.jpg";
files[1] == @"D:\Photo\aaa.jpg";
files[2] == @"D:\Photo\MyPhoto.jpg";

And you row

C#

files.ToString();

will give you only name of type "files"

Image image = Image.FromFile("put your file name here");

Specifying just the path (without the actual filename) could lead to problems if there are multiple images in the folder. Sure, you could juyst load the first image found, but unless you wrote extra code to provide a list of names in some sort of order (or by file type), you're always going to get the first file that was actualy written to the folder in question.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that we have no idea how to more accurately help you because your question is too vague.

C#

string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(@"D:\LeadImage\Pending\", "*.jpg", SearchOption.AllDirectories);

in your case you are looking for files in folder
'C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DevServer\10.0\LeadImage\Pending'
Is it right?

and you can use symbol @ before string row. This provide you string like

C#

"D:\sdfs\sdfsd"

also you can check does current folder Exist:

C#

if (Directory.Exist(@"d:\Myimage\"))
{
}
