private static void GetFilesFromDirectory(string DirPath)

         try
         {
             DirectoryInfo Dir = new DirectoryInfo(DirPath);
             FileInfo[] FileList = Dir.GetFiles("*.*", SearchOption.AllDirectories);
             foreach (FileInfo FI in FileList)
             {
                 Console.WriteLine(FI.FullName);
             }
         }
         catch (Exception ex)
         {
                Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
         }
}

Display directories and files on a blank page

// YourPage.aspx
<%@ Import Namespace="System.IO" %>
<html>
<body>
    <% foreach (var dir in new DirectoryInfo("E:\\TEMP").GetDirectories()) { %>
        Directory: <%= dir.Name %><br />

        <% foreach (var file in dir.GetFiles()) { %>
            <%= file.Name %><br />
        <% } %>
        <br />
    <% } %>
</body>
</html>
