How to loop through image folder with paintings in Blazor server?

Question

I am using Blazor server. I have paintings in a wwwroot/paintings folder. The painting names are all in the format "XX by YY". I need to generate links to each painting using its name, so the link will also say "XX by YY." I can't know the names ahead of time.

How can I load the paintings into an array, or what is the best way to do this?

In Blazor Server you can simply read all files using Directory.GetFiles. You'll then need to parse the filename as you want by yourself. — Marvin Klein

This is what you are looking for:

DirectoryInfo d = new DirectoryInfo(@"...\wwwroot\paintings\");
FileInfo[] files = d.GetFiles();

foreach (FileInfo filepath in files)
    Console.WriteLine(filepath.Name);

last two lines just to print the names of all files you find. If needed you can specify file format in GetFiles() by putting for example "*.jpg" parameter
