Custom OpenFileDialog control - has anyone written one or know of a good one to download?

We need to be able to let our users select files off of the SD card and it
seems that the native control doesn't allow access to this.

Check out the TGetFile control from Tillanosoft. Works very nicely.

Hi,

Jose Gallardo Salazar wrote a pretty good one on his blog at
http://www.mobilepractices.com/2008/02/custom-openfiledialog-implementation.html

I've expanded upon his work on my own blog at
http://www.christec.co.nz/blog/archives/286

This is a Compact Framework based class which should be fairly easy to
intergrate into your C# or VB.NET application etc.

If you perform a web search there are a number of alternative
implementations floating around.

Hope this helps,
Christopher Fairbairn

Also if you set the filters for the file type you are looking for and then
select ALL Folders it will show those types of files wherever they are -
even on the Storage Card (SD).

One of our products includes an OpenFileDialog component which works on both
Professional and Standard (Pocket PC and Smartphone) devices and allows you
to access all folders:-
