Traverse Folders/Subfolders -

I have a problem with traversing through all folders/subfolders in a given media (etc cd-rom, hdd). I want to display the names of all files in all folders and subfolders in a listbox. Even though i am using application.doevents(), i seem to be able to traverse the folders once. I have provided part of my code. Hope someone can point out my mistake. Thanks..

Try
Application.DoEvents()
Dim di As New DirectoryInfo(cboDriveLetter.SelectedItem)
Dim fiList As FileInfo() = di.GetFiles()
Dim diList As DirectoryInfo() = di.GetDirectories
Dim fileTemp As FileInfo
Dim dirTemp As DirectoryInfo

For Each fileTemp In fiList
lstFiles.Items.Add(fileTemp.Name)
Next
For Each dirTemp In diList
lstFiles.Items.Add(dirTemp.FullName)
Next
Catch ex As Exception
InputBox("", "", ex.ToString)
End Try
