Get all documents from a sharepoint document library

I want to retrieve all documents from an SPDocumentLibrary I've tried this way but then I got stucked

using (SPSite mysite = SPContext.Current.Site)
{
    using (SPWeb myweb = mysite.OpenWeb())
    {
        SPDocumentLibrary myDocLib = (SPDocumentLibrary)myweb.Lists["DocLibrary"];
        SPList myList = SPContext.Current.List;
        SPFileCollection myFiles = myList.;
        foreach (SPListItem myItem in myList.Items)
        {
            //adding each found file to my SPFileCollection
            myFiles.Add(myItem.File);
        }
    }
}

but the SPFileCollection.Add function takes more than the file argument !

If I had to guess: you don't actually want to add them to a SPFileCollection. Doing this means that you're copying the files, but without using the convenient Copy method.

You probably just want to store them temporarily in a List<SPFile> or similar.

There are a lot of classes in the SharePoint object library called Collections, but they are not meant to be used like classes in the Systems.Collections namespace.
