Files too DataGrid Help Plz

[MikeY]

Hi everyone,

In C#, is there a easy way of display files (ie. mp3 files) to a datagrid?
If someone can provide me with some code, or advice I would appreciated it.

Thanks in advance.

MikeY,

What do you mean to a datagrid? A datagrid is for tabular data, whereas
an MP3 is an audio file. They are incompatable.

Or do you mean a file listing? In this case, you should be able to use
the Directory object, setting the data source to the return value from the
static GetFiles method (since it returns an array of strings).

Hope this helps.

Hi Ncholas,

Thanks for replying. I'm trying to display my mp3 files that reside in a
folder, then display all mp3 files within that folder in a datagrid. below
is a sample of my code, but it is just displaying the last file and not all
of them.

private Item[] items = new Item[]{};

protected class Item
{
public Item(string text)
{
m_text = text;
}
public string Text
{
get
{
return m_text;
}
}
private string m_text;
}
private void btnRetrieve_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
System.IO.DirectoryInfo dir = new System.IO.DirectoryInfo(@"C:\Documents
and Settings\MikeYAdmin\Desktop\Music 1");

DirectoryInfo[] myDirectory = dir.GetDirectories();
FileInfo[] myInfo = dir.GetFiles();

foreach(System.IO.FileInfo fi in myInfo)
{
items = new Item[]{new Item(fi.Name)};
}

this.dGridTest.SetDataBinding(items, null);
}

the problem is here

foreach(System.IO.FileInfo fi in myInfo)
{
items = new Item[]{new Item(fi.Name)}; //only the last FileInfo is
preserved
}

this is what you need to do:

items = new Item[myInfo.Length];
int i = 0;
foreach(System.IO.FileInfo fi in myInfo)
{
items[i] = new Item(fi.Name);
i++;
}
