Shortcuts don't appear using DirectoryInfo.GetFiles () !

Hi, Guys !

I am using DirectoryInfo.GetFiles () to get all the files in a specific directory (Desktop) but it doesn't return shortcuts and standards like recycle bin ...

Any ideas on what's happening here ?

Also, I want to exclude some types of files from DirectoryInfo.GetFiles, how can I do it ?
Can I exclude all hidden and system files ?

Thanks in Advance

 

Recycle bin isn't a shortcut. Computer and Networks aren't shortcuts either. You should see windows C# specifics for how to access them.

Check each file's parameters and remove them from list you got.

 

OK, I got the excluding part.

I know that recycle bin isn't a shortcut and if you read what I wrote, I said "it doesn't return shortcuts and standards like recycle bin". I didn't say that recycle bin is a shortcut, I said that it doesn't return shortcuts AND recycle bin.

 

Don't know, DirectoryInfo for both \userName\Desktop and \all users\Desktop should return all shortcuts(excluding folders inside desktop which might contain shortcuts too). Like they do here(it relies on Environment not available on Unity C# though so needs a direct path).

 

I am using FileInfo for desktop not directoryinfo.
I'll see that link

 

You're brilliant !
Thank you very much that worked.
My problem was that I was getting the files in one user only not the public desktop.

Thank you again

 

Now, I want to getfiles from two directories and return them in the same time.

For example : FileInfo[] Files = GetFiles (Directory1, Directory2);

 

Maybe merge two arrays you just received?
