Hi Everyone,

I'm getting stumped here. I've been trying to use the FolderBrowserDialog
for the first time, but to no avail. Can someone please give me adive on how
to use this. I don't know if I sould be having a component in my toolbox
like openfile/savefile. Or where to begin with this.

I am trying to write a C# window form. Any and all help is truly
appreciated.

Hi MikeY,
you can create the FolderBrowseDialog programatically, it is not a
component. Some sample code which shows the dialog and gets the path
selected by the user is:

FolderBrowserDialog folderBrowse = new FolderBrowserDialog();
folderBrowse.ShowDialog();

string selectedPath = folderBrowse.SelectedPath;


Hope that helps

Txs Mark,

But I think the problem is that I am running Framework 1.0. From my further
reading, I understand that I would need to have Framework 1.1 to be able to
utilize this. Unfortunately I cannot afford a new version at this time and
will have to get around it with straight textbox input to get at my folder.

Thanks again Mark

No, I'm using VS2002. BAH. Oh well, can't have it all I guess. Back to
textbox input for the folder location.
