and don't call people you don't know "dear". That term is reserved for your wife or girlfriend.

What have you tried so far? Where are you stuck?

I have tried following but it gives only the root folder filed details...not all sub directories info...
DirectoryInfo dir = new DirectoryInfo(@"C:\AddOn\");
Console.WriteLine(dir.GetFiles().Length.ToString());

you have to specify SearchOptions to include subdirectories. See my answer

Is this all files within the sub folders as well as the main ( root ) folder?

C#

var path = @"L:\";
int files = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(path, "*.*", SearchOption.AllDirectories).Count();
int dirs = System.IO.Directory.GetDirectories(path, "*", SearchOption.AllDirectories).Count();
