Searching a file

[Sam]

I have looked at the Directory, File and Path classes but couldn’t find what I want. Is there a way to find a file on the harddisk or the path? Like a search where you give a file name and it returns the directories in which it exists.

Sam,

I would make a call to the FindFirstFileEx API function through the
P/Invoke layer. You might want to look around first, as there might be a
wrapper class that wraps the various calls for you.

Hope this helps.
