Question

How do I get number of Files from a folder using ASP.NET with C#?

Try following code to get count of files in the folder

string strDocPath = Server.MapPath('Enter your path here'); 
int docCount = Directory.GetFiles(strDocPath, "*", 
SearchOption.TopDirectoryOnly).Length;

Answer 2

System.IO.DirectoryInfo dir = new System.IO.DirectoryInfo("SourcePath");
int count = dir.GetFiles().Length;

You can use this.

Answer 3

You can use the Directory.GetFiles method

Also see Directory.GetFiles Method (String, String, SearchOption)

You can specify the search option in this overload.

TopDirectoryOnly: Includes only the current directory in a search.

AllDirectories: Includes the current directory and all the subdirectories in a search operation. This option includes reparse points like mounted drives and symbolic links in the search.

// searches the current directory and sub directory
int fCount = Directory.GetFiles(path, "*", SearchOption.AllDirectories).Length;
// searches the current directory
int fCount = Directory.GetFiles(path, "*", SearchOption.TopDirectoryOnly).Length;

The slickest method woud be to use LINQ:

var fileCount = (from file in Directory.EnumerateFiles(@"H:\iPod_Control\Music", "*.mp3", SearchOption.AllDirectories)
                        select file).Count();
