Counting files in a directory

[Paul]

Any easy/FAST way to count the number of files in a directory?. I can loop
thru using the dir command but it's slow, the directories I'm using contains
1000's of files.

Thanks

Is Directory.GetFiles any faster? It returns an array of all the filenames
of course, but you dont have to iterate through them, you can use the Length
property.
