It turns out that it's actually pretty easy. An instance of FileInfo has an Attributes property, and to check whether the instance refers to a directory you need to do a bitwise AND, like so: if ( ( file.Attributes & FileAttributes.Directory ) == FileAttributes.Directory ) {     // Its a directory } More information: FileAttributes Enumeration FileInfo Class     | Comments: Post a Comment     ARCHIVES   November 2003 January 2004 February 2004 March 2004 April 2004 May 2004 June 2004
