1. $ - string interpolation (C# reference)

The $ special character identifies a string literal as an interpolated string. An interpolated string is a string literal that might contain interpolation expressions. When an interpolated string is resolved to a result string, items with interpolation expressions are replaced by the string representations of the expression results. This feature is available starting with C# 6..

Elsewhere in this tutorial, you'll find a lengthy description of the string data type, because dealing with text is such an important task.

It's called string interpolation (introduced in C# 6.0) and it will allow you to place special markers in your string, which the interpreter will later replace with the relevant values.

If you want to search and return only the names of directories or files, use the enumeration methods of the Directory class. If you want to search and return other properties of directories or files, use the DirectoryInfo and FileSystemInfo classes.

You can use enumerable collections from these methods as the IEnumerable <T > parameter for constructors of collection classes like List <T >.
