 protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { string[] filePaths = Directory.GetFiles(Server.MapPath("~/"), "*.*", SearchOption.AllDirectories); foreach (string filepath in filePaths) { if (filepath.EndsWith(".aspx")) { Response.Write(filepath + "<br/>"); Page page = (Page)Convert.ChangeType(filepath, typeof(Page)); } } }

According to your last comment, "I'm trying to go through all the pages of a project and identify the Label and Button controls through each page." Therefore, I think you need the following:

• Make some base class from which all pages inherit
• Put some logic in this base class (maybe redefine PreRender, it's not clear what you want to do with the controls) and find all the controls (Label and Button) on these pages (you probably need to implement your own FindControl method, because FindControl in ASP.NET is not recursive ).

This is much better and cleaner than what you are trying to achieve when downloading .aspx directly, etc.
