For me it's still not clear what you like to do? Find the file inside a list with a specific name?

Yes i have lot of filenames in list. some time it comes same file name (mac address as file name) with different date. So we find that same file names..

I could not understand from where dataFileName comes ,I think as you are in the foreach loop and data is the iterating variable so you need to use data instead of dataFileName.

Hi,

As your list is a string type and you want to search the string inside the string list you can able to use something like this:

XML

List<ListBox> list;
            string fileName = list.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Name.Equals("something"));

Here I have used the "Equals()" method to compare the value but you can able to use some more methods like "EndsWith()" or "StartsWith()" etc.

Thanks

You can try this to get filename from your list-

C#

foreach (string data in str)
    {
        string filename=data;
    }
