Better FileFolder Recursion Algorithm – More Code Friendly

I’d like you to read the code first

static class FileHelper
{
    public static List<string> GetFilesRecursive(string b)
    {
        // 1.
        // Store results in the file results list.
        List<string> result = new List<string>();

        // 2.
        // Store a stack of our directories.
        Stack<string> stack = new Stack<string>();

        // 3.
        // Add initial directory.
        stack.Push(b);

        // 4.
        // Continue while there are directories to process
        while (stack.Count > 0)
        {
            // A.
            // Get top directory
            string dir = stack.Pop();

            try
            {
                // B
                // Add all files at this directory to the result List.
                result.AddRange(Directory.GetFiles(dir, "*.*"));

                // C
                // Add all directories at this directory.
                foreach (string dn in Directory.GetDirectories(dir))
                {
                    stack.Push(dn);
                }
            }
            catch
            {
                // D
                // Could not open the directory
            }
        }
        return result;
    }
}

what do you think? I like the idea of Pop Push method to use in recursion instead of method recursion..
