how can I access the file names from a folder on my server using vb.net?
what would be really useful is I feed a function a folder name on the server and it returns back an array of the filenames from that folder like 1.jpg,2.jpg,3.jpg and so on

Have a look at the FileInfo object. Here's a useless piece of code out of my system that shows the use of these objects
Dim fld As System.IO.DirectoryInfo
Dim fil As System.IO.FileInfo
Dim lIndex As Integer
Dim sXML As String
Dim sFiles() As String
Dim sDates() As Date
fld = New System.IO.DirectoryInfo(sP
ReDim sFiles(500)
ReDim sDates(500)
lIndex = 0
For Each fil In fld.GetFiles()
lIndex = lIndex + 1
If UBound(sFiles) < lIndex Then
ReDim Preserve sFiles(UBound(sFiles) + 500)
ReDim Preserve sDates(UBound(sFiles) + 500)
End If
sFiles(lIndex) = fil.Name
sDates(lIndex) = fil.LastWriteTime
Next fil
