Count number of files in a directory

[stustarz]

Quick question - may not have an easy answer though.

 

Is there any way of counting the number of files inside a directory?

The GetFiles method of the Directory class returns an array of

Strings that contain filenames, so you can just check the length

of the array to get the number of files.

 

Dim numberOfFiles As Integer
Dim path As String = "c:\blah\"

numberOfFiles = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(path).Length
