Restrict the user to a particular folder in OpenFileDialog Control

Paras Wadehra

Hi Friends,

Can anyone please help me with the OpenFileDialog Control in VB.Net? I want
the user to be restricted to a particular folder only for selecting a file,
i.e. they should not be able to change the directory in the OpenFileDialog!

Is there a way to implement this? Please let me know.

Thanks,
Paras Wadehra

Hi,

There is no way in the Manged Open File Dialog to restrcit the user from
selecting from a particular directory only. I would suggest you use a listbox
and populate it with Directory.GetFiles listings to list all the files in
your current directory and then allow the user to choose only amongst them.
