[RESOLVED] help with opening a folder using Visual Basic 2010 Express

[cool_asian]

how can i open a folder with Visual Basic, preferably with a Message Box?
e.g. when the user clicks "OK" on a message, a certain folder will open.
I am new to Visual Basic so can you please help me?
thanks

Hi, something like this:

'Show a message box and test to see if the OK button was clicked
If MessageBox.Show("Do you want to open a folder?", "Caption", MessageBoxButtons.OKCancel) = DialogResult.OK Then
 
    'Create a reference to the path you want to open
    Dim Path As String = "c:\"
 
    'And open the folder using the Explorer.exe Process
    Process.Start("Explorer.exe", Path)
 
End If

Hope this helps

You could simply call

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:\")

This will open the c:\ path with the default explorer application
