displaying folders & files

[JuggaloBrotha]

short and simple, i'm going to make an FTP client and i was wondering, what type of control(s) would be best for displaying the folders & files on both the local computer and the ftp server?

in the open/save file dialogs it has the white window with icons and names and all that displayed all pretty like and i was kind of thinking of trying to make something like that

any ideas? any articles on displaying folders and files?

For FTP like client ListView control will be the best option

I would suggest using the TreeView control since the folders & files use a tree type hierarchy.
Here is a link to an article regarding Displaying the directory tree using the TreeView control in VB.NET. This articles shows how to display the folders for the C Drive, but you should get the idea.

i've actually decided to use a ListView for this as they're more user friendly IMO.

once i get it all working and as complex as the Open/Save File Dialogs i'll post it here for others to use
