I developed a custom activity for UiPath in C# which returns a list of file paths. The activity accepts two inputs out of that one input is Directory name eg. D:\ and other input is search text. The Activity finds the files in a directory on the basis of search text.

The activity is working fine in visual studio it returns all file formats which contains the search text, but it’s not working in UiPath it returns all file formats except .docx,xlsx,.ppt or Microsoft supportive files.
