C# FileInfo Array to String Array -

i have array stores files directory:

    string pathtodirectory = @"c:\files";     system.io.directoryinfo didir = new directoryinfo(pathtodirectory);     system.io.fileinfo[] file_array = didir.getfiles();      foreach (fileinfo lfileinfo in file_array)     {     }    

i want try , convert array string type array instead of fileinfo type. please let me know how can go doing this. appreciated.

use static directory class instead. returns files strings instead of instantiating fileinfo instances don't need

string[] files = directory.getfiles(pathtodirectory); 

if want file names without path, use path rid of directory path:

var filenames = directory.getfiles(pathtodirectory)                          .select(path.getfilename);
