How to open a directory instead of a specific file.

At the moment I am using this:

Code:

---

Dim Open As New OpenFileDialog
        Open.ShowDialog()
        TextBox2.Text = Open.FileName

---

But that only allows me to open specific files. Can I make it so I can open a folder?

Use the FolderBrowserDialog.

Thanks!

This is my new code:

Code:

---

Dim Open As New FolderBrowserDialog
Open.ShowDialog()
TextBox2.Text = Open.RootFolder

---

On the last line should I be using RootFolder or is there another alternative? Also, whatever file I open Textbox2 always shows a "0" not the folder location. Why is this?

Of all the properties which one looks like it would make the most sense of a user selecting a path?

#2048

[Recomendation] do not use "Open" as the object name

No idea, that's why I am asking. And Also why is a number appearing instead of a directory?

Thanks! :)

EDIT: No worries, I've done it now. Thanks for the help.

really?
Did you read the documentation linked?
So... when you read "Gets or sets the path selected by the user." ... that didn't trigger anything?\

Yeah I've got it sorted now. Thanks everyone :)
