Why not create an extension method? That's more readable.
public static IEnumerable<FileInfo> GetFilesByExtensions(this DirectoryInfo dir, params string[] extensions)
{
if (extensions == null)
throw new ArgumentNullException("extensions");
IEnumerable<FileInfo> files = Enumerable.Empty<FileInfo>();
foreach(string ext in extensions)
{
files = files.Concat(dir.GetFiles(ext));
}
return files;
}
EDIT: a more efficient version:
public static IEnumerable<FileInfo> GetFilesByExtensions(this DirectoryInfo dir, params string[] extensions)
{
if (extensions == null)
throw new ArgumentNullException("extensions");
IEnumerable<FileInfo> files = dir.EnumerateFiles();
return files.Where(f => extensions.Contains(f.Extension));
}
Usage:
dInfo.GetFilesByExtensions(".jpg",".exe",".gif");
