Depends on your definition of best.

The easiest way would be based on the Directory.GetFiles(String, String) method, taking the Count of the array being returned. This however is not the least expensive one in terms of system load, as it is building an array of strings, which potentially could be huge and take long.

The cheapest way would probably be based on calling the Win32 functions GetFirstFile() and GetNextFile(), which requires P/Invoke and a bit more code.
