Selecting Directories

Hi,

I have recently learned from a kind MVP that VS .NET 2002
won't use .NET framework 1.1 which in turn prevents me
from utilizing the FolderBrowserDi alog class since it is
only available in the .NET framework 1.1 so I was
wondering if anyone would know how to let the user browse
and select directories through a dialog window or
otherwise short of having them type in the directory they
are interested having some kind of operation performed
upon on. Thank you in advance for your help!

Sincerely,
Boris

Boris,

Check out the knowledge base article titled "HOW TO: Implement a Managed
Component that Wraps the Browse For Folder Common Dialog Box by Using Visual
C# .NET", located at (watch for line wrap):

http://support.microsoft.com/default...;en-us;Q306285

It will allow you to show a folder browse dialog in .NET 1.0.

Hope this helps.

Hello, this is my first time on this newsgroup, so I'm not sure if this has been asked a lot of times before, or it is in a FAQ, or it's just not the right group to ask in. Whenever I make a C# project, I can choose where my binaries go, but Visual Studio always creates an "obj/" directory where it puts the objects/intermediate files on the same path my project is. I come from C++, and my projects usually have the following structure:

Hi, I'm currently using tkFileDialog.askdirectory() to select a single directory. I would like to be able to select multiple directories. tkFileDialog.askopenfilenames() seems to do this for files. What can I do in my situation? Are there alternative classes that provide file dialogs better suited for my purpose?

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
