can some one tell me how to iterate through a direcotries and sub directories by selecting a directory ro in a grid i got the in fo in the grid like this but cant seem to figure out the selected index change or something its killing me,

this is what i have so far

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(Environment.CurrentDirectory);

DataTable dtFileInfo = new DataTable();

string StartingDir = @"C:\";

txtCurrentDir.Text = "Current Directory" + " " + StartingDir;

//Create the headers

dtFileInfo.Columns.Add("Name");

dtFileInfo.Columns.Add("Extension");

dtFileInfo.Columns.Add("Size");

dtFileInfo.Columns.Add("Last Modified");

//add columns

foreach (FileInfo f in di.GetFiles())

{

DataRow drFile = dtFileInfo.NewRow();

drFile["Name"] = f.FullName;

drFile["Extension"] = f.Extension;

drFile["Size"] = f.Length;

drFile["Last Modified"] = f.LastAccessTime;

dtFileInfo.Rows.Add(drFile);

//Bind to the grid

GridView1.DataSource = dtFileInfo;

GridView1.DataBind();

}

Hi,

try this:

DataTable dtFileInfo = new DataTable();
string startingDir = @"C:\";
txtCurrentDir.Text = "Current Directory" + " " + startingDir;

//Create the headers
dtFileInfo.Columns.Add("Name");
dtFileInfo.Columns.Add("Extension");
dtFileInfo.Columns.Add("Size");
dtFileInfo.Columns.Add("Last Modified");

//add columns
foreach (string file in Directory.GetFiles(startingDir, "*.*", System.IO.SearchOption.TopDirectoryOnly))
{
    FileInfo f = new FileInfo(file);
    DataRow drFile = dtFileInfo.NewRow();
    drFile["Name"] = f.FullName;
    drFile["Extension"] = f.Extension;
    drFile["Size"] = f.Length;
    drFile["Last Modified"] = f.LastAccessTime;
    dtFileInfo.Rows.Add(drFile);
}

//Bind to the grid
GridView1.DataSource = dtFileInfo;

It's a variation of your code which I hope will give you some ideas...

Anyway, to catch selection change, try something like:

private void dataGridView1_SelectionChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (dataGridView1.SelectedCells.Count == 0)
    {
        return;
    }
    string selectedFilename = dataGridView1.SelectedCells[0].OwningRow.Cells[0].Value.ToString();
}
