How to figure out number of files in specific folder on server?

Question

I have been trying to find a way to get the count of how many files are in a folder called "images", which is in a folder I am already in.

This is the code I have been trying but I have been getting an error message:

Code:

count = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("/images"), 
"(asterisk symbol).(asterisk symbol)").Count()

The error message says it can't find the path.

When debugging a problem, break the line of code in to smaller pieces to make it earier to see. I would first print out the value of System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("/images") . Then see if that's a real folder. .
