IsolatedStorageFile.cs
Source:
IsolatedStorageFile.cs

Gets the file names that match a search pattern.

C#
public string[] GetFileNames(string searchPattern);

Parameters

searchPattern
String

A search pattern. Both single-character ("?") and multi-character ("*") wildcards are supported.

Returns

String[]

An array of relative paths of files in the isolated storage scope that match searchPattern. A zero-length array specifies that there are no files that match.

Exceptions

searchPattern is null.

The isolated store has been disposed.

The isolated store has been removed.

The file path specified by searchPattern cannot be found.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates the GetFileNames method. For the complete context of this example, see the IsolatedStorageFile overview.

C#
    String[] dirNames = isoFile.GetDirectoryNames("*");
    String[] fileNames = isoFile.GetFileNames("Archive\\*");

    // Delete all the files currently in the Archive directory.

    if (fileNames.Length > 0)
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < fileNames.Length; ++i)
        {
            // Delete the files.
            isoFile.DeleteFile("Archive\\" + fileNames[i]);
        }
        // Confirm that no files remain.
        fileNames = isoFile.GetFileNames("Archive\\*");
    }

    if (dirNames.Length > 0)
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < dirNames.Length; ++i)
        {
            // Delete the Archive directory.
        }
    }
    dirNames = isoFile.GetDirectoryNames("*");
    isoFile.Remove();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
    Console.WriteLine(e.ToString());
}

Remarks

The searchPattern "Project\Data*.txt" will give all ".txt" files beginning with Data in the Project directory of the isolated storage scope. For complete description of search pattern strings, see System.IO.Directory.

For information about how to find directory names, see the GetDirectoryNames method.

The How to: Find Existing Files and Directories in Isolated Storage example demonstrates the use of the GetFileNames method.
