List files from directory

[hassified]

Hello all,
I'm still new to c# and am learning alot, so this question is most likly pretty stupid to you guys but its all learning to me.
Question, how do I create a scrollable listing of files from a directory? One that automaticly generates the list from a directory without file extensions. Is it possible?

In case you need to know I'm using Visual C# 2005 Express.

Thanks in advance.

hassified,

Something like the following should get you what you need. (code assumes a form with a button named button1 and a listbox named listBox1 on it)

using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.IO;

namespace WindowsApplication1
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo("c:\\");
            FileInfo[] rgFiles = di.GetFiles("*.*");
            foreach (FileInfo fi in rgFiles)
            {
                listBox1.Items.Add(Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(fi.Name));
            }

        }
    }
}

Thank you very much, so if i wanted it to show files in list box of a directory called images it would look like this?

DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo("\images\");

And also, do I have to have a button?

I'm wanting it automaticly pull files from this directory called "images". I'm experminting with the idea of making an app that will run from a cd and let the user click a file name in the list box and will show image in the app.

Is C# the right language to use???

DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo("\images\");

You should specify a full path.

And also, do I have to have a button?

No - the button_click event was just there to get the code to execute. You can put it in it's own method and call it from nearly anywhere.

You should specify a path - best put in an app.config file.
