FolderBrowserDialog has VANISHED!

[Guest]

The FolderBrowserDialog control in my toolbox has vanished!

I did not delibratly remove it and it is just not there anymore. I tried to
add it back to the toolbox but there isn't even a .NET component (or even a
COM) available to select from in the "Customize Toolbox" window!

I noticed there is a RESET button on the "Customize Toolbox" window but I
have a number of custom controls it said it would delete. I was hesitant
about that since I wasn't even sure it would fix the problem.

Does anyone have any idea how I can get my FolderBrowserDialog Control back?

"FolderBrowserDialog" is not listed on the ".NET Framework Components" tab?

Are you sure a reference to "System.Windows.Forms.dll" exists in the
project?

Are you sure .NET 1.1 is installed on the machine and you are running VS.NET
2003?

I'm using VS 2002...

I just installed 1.1 Service Pack 1 but the About menu under Help shows I'm
using 1.0...

I guess this is the problem. Is the FolderBrowserDialog not available in
2002?

I switch between computers and this is the first one I've encountered that
didn't have the FolderBrowserDialog.

'FolderBrowserDialog' is only available in .NET 1.1. VS.NET 2002 doesn't
support .NET 1.1. You'll need VS.NET 2003 in order to use
'FolderBrowserDialog'.

Ahhhh.... It all makes sense now.

And how was it, no bug anymore with SP1?

The terrible bug is fixed in .NET 1.1 SP1.
