public AbstractFolder[] GetFolders( 
   FileSystemEvents events,
   object userData,
   bool recursive,
   params object[] filters
)

Parameters

events

A FileSystemEvents object that will be used to raise events. Cannot be a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

userData

Opaque data that will be passed back to the event handler when an event is raised.

recursive

true if folders contained in the subfolders should be returned; false if only folders that are immediate children of the folder should be returned.

filters

An array of objects that can be used to filter the list of folders returned.

Return Value

To filter a list of files or folders, you can pass a variable number of objects in the filters parameter. These objects may be of the following types:

Note that when passing a string, for example "folder", as the folder to retrieve in the filters parameter, a NameFilter class will be created around the string. By default, the FilterScope of the NameFilter class is FilterScope.File. This means that only files will be filter and all folders will be returned.

In order to filter folders, a NameFilter class needs to be constructed around the string and the FilterScope must be set to FilterScope.Folder. For example:

GetFolders( true, new NameFilter( "folder", FilterScope.Folder ) );

Target Platforms: Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
