How to iterate through all items from a folder which is present in 14 hive layouts folder and add them as drop down options?

Suppose you have a Combo box( it is for drop down in asp.net) object  called "ddmItems".

First get the path to the file present in the 14 hive layouts folder as below

string targetPath =  SPUtility.GetGenericSetupPath(@"TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\FOLDER_NAME\TARGET_FOLDER_NAME");

Now iterate in  the TARGET_FOLDER present in the 14 hive layouts folder and 

add to the combo box object(ie. “ddmItems”).

foreach (var directoryItem in Directory.GetDirectories(targetPath)) {        DirectoryInfo info = new DirectoryInfo(directoryItem);        string fileName = info.Name;       //Check whether the file name is already added to the drop down        if (!ddmItems.Items.Contains(fileName))        {          ddmItems.Items.Add(fileName);        } }

Hope this will help

cheers
