I have a problem with recursivly scanning through folders and looking for a file. It all work fine, untill some files or folders change. It never updates the folderlistcache it seems.
Is there anyway to refresh or clearcache, so it will rescan the files ?
Thnx in advance!
ArrayList list = new ArrayList();
void dirsearch(string sDir)
{
try
{
foreach (string d in Directory.GetFiles(sDir))
{
foreach (string f in Directory.GetFiles(d, "*.txt"))
{
string foldername = new DirectoryInfo(d).Name;
String filename = Path.GetFileName("c:\\" + f);
list.Add("C:\\" + f);
list.Add(foldername);
list.Add(filename);
MessageBox.Show("found one!");
}
dirsearch(d);
}
}
catch (System.Exception excpt)
{
MessageBox.Show(excpt.Message);
}
}
You can use this overload of GetFiles
method, no need for recursion
var files = Directory.GetFiles(sDir, "*.txt", SearchOption.AllDirectories);
