Question

When I use the line of code as below , I get an string array containing the entire path of the individual files .

private string[] pdfFiles = Directory.GetF         


        

Answer 1

You can simply use linq

Directory.EnumerateFiles(LoanFolder).Select(file => Path.GetFileName(file));

Note: EnumeratesFiles is more efficient compared to Directory.GetFiles as you can start enumerating the collection of names before the whole collection is returned.
