Returns

An array of relative paths of files at the root of the isolated store. A zero-length array specifies that there are no files at the root.

Examples

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

array<String^>^dirNames = isoFile->GetDirectoryNames( "*" );
array<String^>^fileNames = isoFile->GetFileNames( "*" );

// List directories currently in this Isolated Storage.
if ( dirNames->Length > 0 )
{
   for ( int i = 0; i < dirNames->Length; ++i )
   {
      Console::WriteLine( "Directory Name: {0}", dirNames[ i ] );

   }
}


// List the files currently in this Isolated Storage.
// The list represents all users who have personal preferences stored for this application.
if ( fileNames->Length > 0 )
{
   for ( int i = 0; i < fileNames->Length; ++i )
   {
      Console::WriteLine( "File Name: {0}", fileNames[ i ] );

   }
}

    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());
}

Dim dirNames As String() = isoFile.GetDirectoryNames("*")
Dim fileNames As String() = isoFile.GetFileNames("*")
Dim name As String

' List directories currently in this Isolated Storage.
If dirNames.Length > 0 Then

    For Each name In dirNames
        Console.WriteLine("Directory Name: " & name)
    Next name
End If

' List the files currently in this Isolated Storage.
' The list represents all users who have personal preferences stored for this application.
If fileNames.Length > 0 Then

    For Each name In fileNames
        Console.WriteLine("File Name: " & name)
    Next name
End If

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.
