In .Net, what is the fastest way to recursively find all files from a root directory?

Question

I want to search a directory for all files that match a certain pattern. Surprisingly, I have not had to do this since vb6 (Dir)... I'm sure things have changed since then!

-Thanks

use SearchOption.AllDirectories parameter:

using System.IO;

Directory.GetFiles(@"C:\", "*.mp3", SearchOption.AllDirectories);
