I'm upgrading from Access XP to VB.NET, and having trouble at several points along the way. Probably the most important, at least to the application I upgraded for, is programatically searching for files. Office VBA has a FileSearch class that does this for you; .NET doesn't seem to have anything like this

Could someone point me in the right direciton? My VBA code looks like

Dim X as New Application.FileSearc
X.NewSearc
X.Filter = "*.doc; *.wpd; *.rtf; *.htm
X.LookIn = "C:\
X.IncludeSubFolders = Tru
X.Execut

How do I do this in .NET? Please don't tell me to write a recursive function / class using the Dir function??

No, but you can write a recursive function using the System.IO.DirectoryInfo
class.
