Browse For Folder Is Better In VB6 Than In VB.NET

[JuggaloBrotha]

Personally I've never liked the "FolderBrowserDialog" both in vb6 & in .Net, luckily since switching to .Net and the introduction of Windows Vista there's an api that will display a "OpenFolderDialog" which operates very similar to the OpenFileDialog and SaveFileDialog and is much more suited, in my opinion, than the FolderBrowserDialog ever could be:


I've uploaded the class that makes that happen, but using it is as simple as:

Using ofd As New OpenFolderDialog With {.DefaultFolder = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop), .InitialFolder = .DefaultFolder}
    If ofd.ShowDialog(Me) <> DialogResult.Cancel Then
        'Use ofd.Folder for the path to the selected folder
    End If
End Using
