Try this It is working for me..

The syntax is Directory.GetFiles(string path, string searchPattern);

var filePath = Server.MapPath("~/App_Data/");
string[] filePaths = Directory.GetFiles(@filePath, "*.*");

This code will return all the files inside App_Data folder.

The second parameter . indicates the searchPattern with File Extension where the first * is for file name and second is for format of the file or File Extension like (*.png - any file name with .png format.

If you are looking to copy all the text files in one folder to merge and copy to another folder, you can do this to achieve that:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.IO;

namespace HowToCopyTextFiles
{
  class Program
  {
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
      string mydocpath=Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments);     
      StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
      foreach (string txtName in Directory.GetFiles(@"D:\Links","*.txt"))
      {
        using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(txtName))
        {
          sb.AppendLine(txtName.ToString());
          sb.AppendLine("= = = = = =");
          sb.Append(sr.ReadToEnd());
          sb.AppendLine();
          sb.AppendLine();   
        }
      }
      using (StreamWriter outfile=new StreamWriter(mydocpath + @"\AllTxtFiles.txt"))
      {    
        outfile.Write(sb.ToString());
      }   
    }
  }
}

You can use the DirectoryInfo.GetFiles method:

FileInfo[] files = DirectoryInfo.GetFiles("*.xml");

using System.IO;
...
foreach (string file in Directory.EnumerateFiles(folderPath, "*.xml"))
{
    string contents = File.ReadAllText(file);
}

Note the above uses a .NET 4.0 feature; in previous versions replace EnumerateFiles with GetFiles). Also, replace File.ReadAllText with your preferred way of reading xml files - perhaps XDocument, XmlDocument or an XmlReader.

using System.IO;

//...

  string[] files;

  if (Directory.Exists(Path)) {
    files = Directory.GetFiles(Path, @"*.xml", SearchOption.TopDirectoryOnly);
    //...
