Call this Namespace alobg with default namespaces in .cs page.
using System.IO;

 private void GetFilesFromFolder()
    {
        String FilePath = Server.MapPath("../uploads/photos/");
        //Create the DataTable, with columns in which to add the file list
        DataTable dt = new DataTable();
        dt.Columns.Add("FileName", typeof(System.String));
        dt.Columns.Add("FileSize", typeof(System.String));
        DataRow dr = null;
        DirectoryInfo dir = new DirectoryInfo(FilePath);
    
        // adding file to a datatable one by one in new row, along with the  filesize to each file
        foreach (FileInfo fi in dir.GetFiles())
        {
            dr = dt.NewRow();
            dr[0] = fi.Name.ToString();
            dr[1] = fi.Length.ToString("N0");  //'N0'formats the number with commas
            dt.Rows.Add(dr);
        }
        datagridFiles.DataSource = dt;
