Answer 1

Try something like this:

var listOfFiles = new  List<String>();
        string [] fileEntries = Directory.GetFiles(targetDirectory);
        foreach(string fileName in fileEntries)
            {
                lisOfFiles.Add(fileName);
            }

Use the static methods Directory.GetFiles that return an array of string containing the path of your files.

Additionally, you can use the extension method ToList() to convert the collection to a List<string>.

var files = Directory.GetFiles(directoryPath).ToList();

The FileInfo provide a lot of information about files, so you could convert it to Fileinfo:

 var files = Directory.GetFiles(Path.Combine(directoryPath)).Select(x => new FileInfo(x));

The FileInfo has Name attribute that return the File name also has an Extension property which return the file extensions and so on.
