FolderBrowserDialog Help Plz

[MikeY]

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

Are you using VS2003? I think it is only available in 2003.

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