    Resolved [RESOLVED] Advanced folder browser dialog.

    i am using FolderBrowserDialog to open a folder in my project.
    Every time user has to traverse through many subfolders, so is there any advanced folderbrowserdialog control to paste the folder path directly?

    i have seen this API,
    but its not much good look in vs 2010 project.

    You can set the SelectedPath property of the dialogue before displaying it, if that helps.

    yes, now am doing like that only, i kept a txt file where last opened folder path is saved, when user open dialog am setting the path.

    if the user wants to open some other folder means, Rather to traverse into folder treeview, user can easily copy and paste the folder path.

    Don't use a text file. use My.Settings. You can even bind a setting to the SelectedPath property of the FolderBrowserDialog.

    You could always build your own form with a TextBox and a TreeView.
