This works for me:

Dim loDirectoryInfo As System.IO.DirectoryInfo
        loDirectoryInfo = New System.IO.DirectoryInfo("d:\\tmp")

        For Each loFile In loDirectoryInfo.GetFiles()
            Dim l As Long = loFile.Length
            Console.WriteLine("Name: {0} Length:{1}", loFile.FullName, loFile.Length)
        Next

Also you said the error was 'could not find file' - seems odd that that would occur on the fourth reference to loFile rather than the first ?
