    Recursive Reading : Corrected

    The Folders looked all wrong with the formatting I gave thm... it could
    cause confusion..so i'm reposting with a different fomat:
    =============== =============== =====

    Hey everyone!

    Basicaly what i'm doing is showing MessageBoxes with the contents of a
    folder tree...

    Example:

    rootFolder (Folder1 "(" Folder2 *(* Folder3( F3File1, F3File2)
    F2File1,F2File2 * )* F1File1,F1File2 ")" RFFile1, RFFile2 )

    It might take you a while but you'll probably see how the folder tree is
    structured... the " * characters with the brackets are just to tell the
    difference between them, reference.

    RF"name" or F#"name" is to tell you in wich folder a file is, it's just for
    reference, RFFile1,for example, is in the Root Folder, and F2File2 is in
    Folder2

    My problem is:

    With the folowing code I can only get to the contents of
    Folder2 which are Folder3, F2File1 etc etc...
    but I can't get to the contents within Folder3.... could anyone suggest me
    what to do? (I know it's quite simple, but i've been so many hours looking
    at it that I can't see it!


    protected void MessContents(Di rectoryInfo root)
    {

    foreach (DirectoryInfo NextFolder in root.GetDirecto ries())
    {
    MessageBox.Show (NextFolder.Nam e);

    foreach (FileInfo NextFile in root.GetFiles() )
    {
    MessageBox.Show (NextFile.Name) ;
    }

    MessContents(Ne xtFolder);
    }


    }

    Thnx in advance!

      Benjamin Vigneaux,
      I don't see anything wrong with the code.

      Why do you think that you can't get the contents of Folder3? I.E. what
      happens when you try?

      Have you verified that Folder3 actually contains anything?

          Benjamin Vigneaux,

          Not sure but

          protected void MessContents(Di rectoryInfo root)
          {

          // when root =Folder3 , There are are not directories

          foreach (DirectoryInfo NextFolder in
          root.GetDirecto ries())
          {
          MessageBox.Show (NextFolder.Nam e);

          foreach (FileInfo NextFile in root.GetFiles() )
          {
          MessageBox.Show (NextFile.Name) ;
          }

          MessContents(Ne xtFolder);
          }

          }



          I think this could help. not tested it though

          foreach (FileInfo fi in di.GetFiles())
          {
          if ((fi.Attributes & FileAttributes. Directory) !=
          FileAttributes. Directory)
          {
          //is file
          }
          else if ((fi.Attributes & FileAttributes. Directory) ==
          FileAttributes. Directory)
          {
          //recurse
          }
          }

              Good point. That is the problem.

              However, the simple solution is to just move the file loop outside the
              folder loop:

              protected void MessContents(Di rectoryInfo root) {
              foreach (FileInfo NextFile in root.GetFiles() ) {
              MessageBox.Show (NextFile.Name) ;
              }
              foreach (DirectoryInfo NextFolder in root.GetDirecto ries()) {
              MessageBox.Show (NextFolder.Nam e);
              MessContents(Ne xtFolder);
              }
              }
