you can try this code....i think it will help you.

public class FileSearch
    {
        public static Boolean SearchFiles(string path1, string path2)
        {
            bool isIdentical = false;
            string content1 = null;
            string content2 = null;
bool result=false;

            DirectoryInfo d1 = new DirectoryInfo(path1);
            DirectoryInfo d2 = new DirectoryInfo(path2);

            foreach (FileInfo f1 in d1.GetFiles("*.txt", SearchOption.AllDirectories))
            {
                foreach (FileInfo f2 in d2.GetFiles("*.txt", SearchOption.AllDirectories))
                {
                    content1 = (File.ReadAllText(f1.DirectoryName + "\\" + f1));
                    content2 = (File.ReadAllText(f2.DirectoryName + "\\" + f2));

                    isIdentical = content1.Equals(content2, StringComparison.Ordinal);

                    if (isIdentical == false)
                    {
                       break;
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        result=true;break;

                    }
break;
            }
return result;
        }

    }
