How to check if a directory is empty?

[Bill nguyen]

Is there a quick way to determine if a directory is empty.
Directory.Getfiles() doesn't tell me how many files without having to loop
thru the list.

Thanks

Bill

directory.getfiles().count ?

I'll try .Length . I couldn't find .Count with Getfiles()

Thanks both Brian & Herfried for your prompt response.
