Listing files in main directory and subdirectories

I currently have a code that scans a given directory for folders and lists everything into a listbox. However, I would also like to scan for files under each folder. I would like to use this code as it outputs a tree like folder structure. What do I need to add to my code to also get the files? Thanks!

private void ScanSelectedFolder(String prefix, String path)
{

    try
    {
        DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(path);
        foreach (var dir in new DirectoryInfo(path).GetDirectories("*", SearchOption.TopDirectoryOnly))
        {
            listBox1.Invoke((MethodInvoker)delegate { 
                listBox1.Items.Add(prefix + dir.Name + " (" + dir.Name.Length.ToString() + ")   "); });
                ScanFolder(prefix + "―", dir.FullName);
            }
        }
        catch
        {
            if (!this.IsDisposed)
            {
                listBox1.Invoke((MethodInvoker)delegate { listBox1.Items.Add("Access Denied to : " + path); });
            }
        }
    }
}

Output:

Something like this:

DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(path);
foreach (var dir in new DirectoryInfo(path).GetDirectories("*", SearchOption.TopDirectoryOnly))
{
    listBox1.Invoke((MethodInvoker)delegate { listBox1.Items.Add(prefix + dir.Name + " (" + dir.Name.Length.ToString() + ")   "); });

    foreach (FileInfo fileInfo in dir.GetFiles())
    {
        listBox1.Invoke((MethodInvoker) delegate { listBox1.Items.Add(prefix + fileInfo.Name); });
    }
    ScanSelectedFolder(prefix + "―", dir.FullName);
}
