C#

int fileCount = Directory.GetFiles(path, "*.*", SearchOption.AllDirectories).Length; // Will Retrieve count of all files in directry and sub directries

int fileCount = Directory.GetFiles(path, "*.*", SearchOption.TopDirectory).Length; // Will Retrieve count of all files in directry but not sub directries

int fileCount = Directory.GetFiles(path, "*.xml", SearchOption.AllDirectories).Length; // Will Retrieve count of files XML extension in directry and sub directries
