.NET Forum / Windows Forms / WinForm General / February 2007Next File (System.IO)
Let's say I have a file loaded, whether it be text or picture. I want to be able to have a 'Next' button, which loads the next file in the current directory. I can load the files just fine, and to some extent, I understand System.IO (deleting/path designations, etc), but how can I look at the path of that first file, which is loaded, and load the next one in the path? The System.IO.Directory.GetFiles() method will return an array of the file paths of all the files in the directory. You can work off of that.  SignatureHTH, Kevin Spencer Microsoft MVP Software Composer http://unclechutney.blogspot.com I had the same problem once. Fixed it using the same solution. > Let's say I have a file loaded, whether it be text or picture. > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > (deleting/path designations, etc), but how can I look at the path of that > first file, which is loaded, and load the next one in the path?

I'm kind of > lost on how to do it still..... first get all files, maybe in some init-code: string[] files = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(); int currentFile = 0; then use this list to loop over this: void OnButtonNextClick(...) { currentFile++; string newFile = files[currentFile]; // do whatever you need with the new file } hope this helps Markus Did you try googling it yourself? Or go search msdn2.com for system.io.directory.getfiles() ?
