Access image filenames on iOS

I'm developing an app that will create a list view containing the image filename and a thumbnail of an image (they images will be loaded via lazy loading).

My problem is that from what I've seen, the images should be in /user/data/Media/DCIM but if I try and look at that directory using Directory.Enumerate("/user/data/Media/DCIM") I'm told the directory doesn't exist.

Is there some special way that I can use so I just enumerate the image filenames on the phone?

I'm using Xamarin.iOS for this.

If you want to get the list of images from the device's photo library, you don't access the filesystem directly - instead you use the AssetsLibrary API.

The Shared Resources sample includes code to interact with the Assets Library.
