Drive/Folder/File list

I'm just now changing over to VB.net - I used VB6 for years - - but, now
with the advent of 2.0 - I like the new stuff -
So - all that aside - -

in VB6, there was a Drive List/FolderList and File List control - - - - -
I know this is kind of old looking technology - but I don't really see a
replacement like or better than it - - what controls are normally used in
their places, now, with VB.Net?

Typically the classes 'FolderBrowserDialog', 'OpenFileDialog', and
'SaveFileDialog' are used instead. However, note that these components
cannot be used as controls which are placed on a form's surface, they are
independent dialogs.
