namespace WinFormsApp1
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
    public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            string[] dir = Directory.GetFiles("d:\\Test");

            var files = dir.Select(file => new FileInfo(file).FullName);
            
            foreach (string element in files)
            {
                string extension = element.Substring(element.IndexOf("."));
                if (extension == ".txt")
                {
                    MessageBox.Show(element);
                    break;
                }
            }
        }
    }
