I use this code to get all files name in a folder.

C#

rootFolder="D:\\rootFolder\\";
var videofilenames = Directory
                 .GetFiles(rootFolder, "*.*", SearchOption.AllDirectories)
                 .Select(s => Path.GetFileName(s))
                 .Where(s =>s.EndsWith(".mp4") || s.EndsWith(".mkv") || s.EndsWith(".wav") || s.EndsWith(".avi"));
            var videotop = videofilenames.Take(top);
            foreach (var myscore in videotop)
            {
                string videofilename = myscore.ToString();
             // and i store videofilename in an array
            }

now i need their path too.But I do not know how to change it to reach my aim.
thank you in advance.

please check what you are getting into 'videofilenames' .I Think you will get full file path into 'videofilenames'

I checked it. it is just video file name without path

C#

rootFolder="D:\\rootFolder\\";
static int top = 3810;

var videofilenames = Directory
.GetFiles(rootFolder, "*.*", SearchOption.AllDirectories)
.Where(s =>s.EndsWith(".mp4") || s.EndsWith(".mkv") || s.EndsWith(".wav") || s.EndsWith(".avi"));

            var videotop = videofilenames.Take(top);

            foreach (var myscore in videotop)
            {
                string Fullpath = myscore.ToString();
                string videofilepath = Path.GetDirectoryName(Fullpath) + "\\";
                string filename = Path.GetFileName(Fullpath);
                string fileformat = Path.GetExtension(filename);

            }

so now I have every thing :)
