Folder browsing

[Jonathan Dixon]

I am using this code to get a list of folders and files

System.IO.DirectoryInfo didocs1=new
System.IO.DirectoryInfo("C:\\Shearings\\" + jonn + "\\" + folder);

I was wondering if there was a way to determine if the the folder had any
files or subfolders within it or whether it is empty

Thanks

didocs1.GetFiles ();
didocs1.GetDirectories ();

Not sure about security issues.

Sorry i did not explain properly

I am using the following code to bind a list of files to a datagrid but if
there are no folder of files the datagrid dissapears, i want a way to
check for files or folder before i bind the gird.

e.g

check for folder

if not folders, do nothing, if folders exist bind datagrid
System.IO.DirectoryInfo dicases1=new
System.IO.DirectoryInfo("C:\\Shearings\\" + jon + "\\" + folder);

DataGrid3.DataSource = dicases1.GetFiles();

DataGrid3.DataBind();

Why not to read the list a files into an array and check the array size
before binding to it?
