Need Help: Problems with FolderBrowserDialog

[Vivek Srivastav]

Hi windowsform gurus,
I am struck with a minor problem. The folder browse button, when pressed
opens an empty blank panel with only the description.
What am I doing wrong? Following is the code:

private void btnOpenDir_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
folderBrowserDialog = new FolderBrowserDialog();
folderBrowserDialog.Description = "Select JBoss Home Directory";
folderBrowserDialog.ShowNewFolderButton = false;
folderBrowserDialog.RootFolder = Environment.SpecialFolder.MyComputer;
if(folderBrowserDialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
this.tbDir.Text = folderBrowserDialog.SelectedPath;
}
}

I would really appreciate any help.
regards
vivek

Make sure there is no 'MTAThread' attribute specified on your 'void Main'.
Instead use 'STAThread', which ist the default and doesn't need to be
specified, at least in VB.NET.

I just checked the other post where you replied about the [STAThread] for
the main method.
However, I have a .Net Installer Class Library, where I need to open a
folderbrowser dialog for the user to specify a directory. I
have put [STAThread] attribute around the event which creates the
FolderBrowserDialog but it still seems blank with only the description, ok
and cancel button.
