In this article, we would like to show you how to list all directories from directory in C# / .NET.

1. Get files and directories from directory example

Edit

xxxxxxxxxx
 
using System;
using System.IO;
​
public static class Program
{
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        string path = @"C:\Directories";
​
        string[] directories = Directory.GetDirectories(path);
​
        foreach (string entry in directories)
            Console.WriteLine(string.Format("{0,-40}   [DIR]", entry));
    }
}

Output:

xxxxxxxxxx
 
C:\Directories\Documents                   [DIR]
C:\Directories\Downloads                   [DIR]
C:\Directories\Musics                      [DIR]
C:\Directories\Pictures                    [DIR]
C:\Directories\Videos                      [DIR]

2. Get recursively directories from directory example

Edit

xxxxxxxxxx
 
using System;
using System.IO;
​
public static class Program
{
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        string path = @"C:\Directories";
​
        string[] directories = Directory.GetDirectories(path, "", SearchOption.AllDirectories);
​
        foreach (string entry in directories)
            Console.WriteLine(string.Format("{0,-40}   [DIR]", entry));
    }
}

Output:

xxxxxxxxxx
 
C:\Directories\Documents                   [DIR]
C:\Directories\Downloads                   [DIR]
C:\Directories\Musics                      [DIR]
C:\Directories\Pictures                    [DIR]
C:\Directories\Videos                      [DIR]
C:\Directories\Pictures\Empty              [DIR]
C:\Directories\Videos\Home                 [DIR]
