Reading files in a folder?

Maybe someone can help me, I am not having any luck finding sample code to work from that will show me how to populate a list box with all the files in a folder.
Example:
Say I have a folder at C:\Jobs and it contains a file for job1, job2…..jobx.
I would like the list box populated with
Job1
Job2
.
.
.
Jobx

And then be able to select one of the jobs to be used in another command.
Do you have or know where some sample code is that I could work with?

Thanks,
Bob

Why?, Are you sure?

The filelistbox is the object included in VB that manages filelisting (with the dirlistbox and drivelistbox).

But if it's what you like, then check

Thank you.
It sounds like there is a built in function that I don't know about.
Sorry very new to VB.
