FolderBrowserDialog

[evad4682]

Hello,

I am trying to set up a File Browser Dialog so that a user can select a text file for reading. When the dialog opens I want the user to be able to select the folder and the file and then for that path to be shown in a text box. What I don't get is how to browse to a file. I can browse to the directory and display that just fine, the problem is displaying the file. Is there some property of FileBrowserDialog that I can set for this?

FolderBrowserDialog control is only for browsing folders. Use the OpenFileDialog/SaveFileDialog controls for files.
