I want to get the files in folder and also in its subfolders.The following code does not get the files in its subfolder:

string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(txtFolderPath.Text, "*ProfileHandler.cs");

Can anyone Please tell me how to implement this in c# .net?

string[] files = 
    Directory.GetFiles(txtPath.Text, "*ProfileHandler.cs", SearchOption.AllDirectories);

That last parameter affects exactly what you're referring to. Set it to AllDirectories to include every file including those in subfolders, or set it to TopDirectoryOnly if you only want to search in the directory given and not subfolders.

Refer to MDSN for details: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143316(v=vs.110).aspx

You can have a look at this page showing Deep Folder Copy, it uses recursive means to iterate throught the files and has some really nice tips, like filtering techniques etc.
