File select control for VB.Net?

[Guest]

I am looking for the VB 6 type of file select dialog control. The one that
you can drag & drop on your form and browse through your file system and
select a file path. I can't seem to find it from VB.Net any more. I tried the
OpenFileDialog and DirectoryBrowserDialog helps. But none of them helps.

I can't believe that this popular control get droped by VB.Net. It must be
somewhere and just I didn't find it.

Can someone help me.

Thanks

Feng,

Can you tell why the OpenFileDialog does not help, the
DirectoryBrowserDialog is even more than VB6. Some of those classic VB6
tools that are not in VBNet standard are in the VBNet powerpack

However in my opinion are those less nice than the standards ones from Net.

I hope this helps,

Cor

Thanks Cor for your response!

What I am looking for is a control that returns a file path, not an opened
stream or something, like OpenFileDialog does. The DirectoryBrowserDialog is
closer, but looks like it only return path of a directory, not a file.

Am I missing something?

Thanks again!

'OpenFileDialog' returns the filename in the dialog's 'FileName' property.
