Explorer-like file browser control?

[Jack Black]

Hi, all! Using VS.Net '03...

Is there an Explorer-like control in .Net? I see there's a
FileListBox and a DirListBox, but I really want something more
Explorer-like for users to browse with. An OpenFile dialog is not
what I'm looking for...

Any ideas?

Thanks!
Jack

You there is no Explorer-like control. However, it is really easy to make
one yourself. Create a user control and use a TreeView, Splitter and
ListView control. Then use System.IO objects like Directory, DirectoryInfo,
File and FileInfo. You can easily have one in about an hour. You may even
find one on the internet for free since it is not too difficult a control to
write.

Jack,

I assume you mean Browse directories?

The most obvious is the treeview and the listview.

For that is a sample in the resourcekit

VB.net Resource kit

And if you have problems installing the resource kit

I hope this helps?
