Hi,
I'm looking for a control which allows me to browse drives/folders for a
file. Something like OpenFileDialog but not in a Dialog form but in a
Control form (I want to place it on my own form and read path and name of
selected file).

Did anybody saw something like this or do I have to create it myself?

thank you
Crosser

Hi,

In addition to Ken...

There are a number of new types in Whidbey which will make creating such a
component in .NET 2.0 easy, especially those that identify DriveTypes etc..

HTH,
