In VB.NET it doesn't have DirListBox control, I want to
retrieve the directory name so I try to use
OpenFileDialog/SaveFileDialog and like I guess it retrieve
the file name not directory. Does in VB.NET have some
control that can select the directory name rather than
file in that directory?

Hi Mark?
There's a class in System.Windows. Forms.Design
FolderNameEdito r.FolderBrowser
which sounds like it might do the job.
The documentation says "This type supports the .NET Framework
infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.". I
don't know why - others here may be able to tell you why you shouldn't use it.
Try it and see if it bites. ;-)

Fergus
Hi MrKrich, In VB.NET it doesn't have DirListBox control, I want to

That was one of my complains with VS.net 2002 too and I did try the same.
But it is now in VS.net 2003 and very professional DirListBox, not any more
that crampy one from VB6.
(It was one of the hidden advantages, now you can see it on some places in
the documentation).
It is called the FolderBrowserDi alog.
I hope this helps a little bit.

discussion of creating a similar resource as CPAN for Python, or a
similar distribution method as PPMs? Seems like it would make a great

Hello all,
I was wondering... Is there a way to create a Array so that I can call a
value with a name i.s.o. a index number? Something similar like a DataTable.
This is what I want: Declare a array of some sorts, private string test;
....
I don't want to get the value by saying: test but test
Can this only be done with a DataTable? But DataTables are for databases

I have just learnt how to add the 'DriveListBox', 'DirListBox' and

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
