    {
//Function to get all the folders present in that particular location,Use
string[] folders = Directory.GetDirectories(@"C:\myfolder\Projects");

//Function to get all the files present in that particular location,Use
string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(@"C:\myfolder\Projects");

//Function to get all the files present in that particular location with particular extension,Use
string[] cs_files= Directory.GetFiles(@"C:\myfolder\Projects","*.cs");

//Function to get all the files present in that particular location and its subfolders with particular extension,Use
string[] cs_files= Directory.GetFiles(@"C:\myfolder\Projects","*.cs",SearchOption.AllDirectories);[/CODE]
