    file browser

    hi there.

    in C#, what is the termonology used, and how do i get this up?

    i want a file browser dialog box, the user can select a folder to browse to, they hit ok, my app will browse to that folder. i would also like the path to that folder they selected

    like for example, in WinME or WinXP, using its zip program, when you extract the files, you have a browse button to select the destination to unpack the files to - i would like that type of dialog box.

    thanks!

    thanks....

    problem im facing, i cant remember if i made a topic or not, i probably did but, when the user selects the folder from the folder dialog, that is copied to a string variable.

    ok


    now, how can i make it so that, when the user selects (in the treeview box i have) a folder, it will take that path and put it into this string variable?

    And of course, that's just for future reference, seeing as this thread is over a year old
