List of Files from URL Directory using VB

[MS]

I am looking to get a list of files for a URL reference such as
http://localhost/manager/ for a certain search pattern say "*.xls". How do I
go about this using VB and what class libraries are best to use. If anyone
has any code or can redirect me to a better site then that would be great.
Thanks in advance.

First you need to map the virtual path to the physical one. Do this with the
page's MapPath method.

Second, have a look into System.IO namespace. You will find plenty of
classes to operate on directories and files.

System.IO is your friend.

Once you have imported it you can do this:
'Get the physical path of the root
Dim folder As String = Page.MapPath("~")
'Get a string array of all excel files
Dim dirs As String() = Directory.GetFiles(folder, "*.xls")
