Since in a PCL I was unable to get a StreamWriter from a string (it required a stream), I created a simple interface to get some of the data from the platform implementation. You can also do this with DirectoryInfo and FileInfo.

Recursively search for *.XML files:

    private static void PrintDirectory(IStreamLocator locator, string dir)

        foreach (var file in locator.GetFileNames(dir, "*.XML"))
        {
            System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(file);
        }

        foreach (var di in locator.GetFolderNames(dir, "*"))
        {
            PrintDirectory(locator, di);
        }
    }
