FileInfo returned from DirectoryInfo.GetFiles doesn't point to file?

This method I call from a backgroundworker dowork event

void WalkDirectoryTree(System.IO.DirectoryInfo root)
{
    try
    {
        files = root.GetFiles("*.cs");
        int Vara = File.ReadAllText(files[0].Name).Contains("namespace") ? 1 : 0;
    }
    catch (UnauthorizedAccessException e)
    {
    }
    catch (System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException e)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
    }    
}

The problem is that i'm getting exception on the line:

int Vara = File.ReadAllText(files[0].Name).Contains("namespace") ? 1 : 0;

Could not find file 'D:\C-Sharp\Search_Text_In_Files\Search_Text_In_Files\Search_Text_In_Files\bin\Debug\Logger.cs'

Using FileInfo.Name you're only getting the filename, not the full path.

Hence you're trying to read the file relative to the current directory, where it doesn't exist.

Obtain the full path instead, i.e. FileInfo.FullName instead of FileInfo.Name.

If you want to read all files, you should loop over the files instead of only reading the first (files[0]), the latter of which is dangerous anyway, because that will throw if there are no files found.

foreach (var fileInfo in files)
{
    int Vara = File.ReadAllText(fileInfo.FullName).Contains("namespace") ? 1 : 0;

}

You should replace Name to FullName of FileInfo object:

void WalkDirectoryTree(System.IO.DirectoryInfo root)
{
    try
    {
        FileInfo[] files = root.GetFiles("*.cs");

        foreach(FileInfo fileInfo in files) 
        {
            int Vara = File.ReadAllText(fileInfo.FullName).Contains("namespace") ? 1 : 0;

            // do something with Vara
        }
    }
    catch (UnauthorizedAccessException e)
    {
    }
    catch (System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException e)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
    }    
}

Reference FileInfo.FullName Property
