To get the number of files in a folder, use the following:


Dim filecount as Integer =
System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(Server.MapPath("./")).Length()


This code gets the number of files in the current directory. Server.MapPath
takes one parameter which is a String that is the relative path to the
desired directory and returns the complete path on the server. To get the
number of files in a different directory, simply change the parameter to
something like:


Dim filecount as Integer =
System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(Server.MapPath("myfiles/")).Length()


Because the parameter is a relative path, you can also use "../" to go up
one directory. If you have any questions, feel free to ask or see the
documentation. Good Luck!
