If we are using this code . it will working on above problem:

class Program
    {
        static void DirSearch()
        {
            try
            {
                foreach (string file in Directory.GetFiles("d:\\Anupam Mishra", "*.txt"))
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(file);
                }
            }
            catch (System.Exception excpt)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(excpt.Message);
            }
        }
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            DirSearch();
            Console.ReadKey();
        }
    }

Output:

//retrieve all text files which is inside a specified directory.
