Duncan, For the life of me I can't find any reference to
a class or component named
"FolderBrowser" in winforms using
Vs.Net 2003 (other than the one mentioned in this post).
How can I reach it?
I mention in the discussion portion of the article that
.NET 1.1 contains a preferred class called
FolderBrowserDialog, located in System.Windows.Forms of
course. Apologies for the confusion. I've emended the
article and added in an editors note.
I remember the Microsoft discouragement as well and I
believe it was in v 1.0 of the framework. It drove me
crazya that that class wasn't available for use since it
seems like it is one of the more common tasks that a
Windows forms programmer performs. I was glad to see
that discouamgement is no longer present.
Anyone know of any reason why my home copy of VS.Net
does not show this class as part of the framework, while
my work copy does? Perhaps its due to the fact that I
have win2k3 at home or something?
Add System.Design.dll to your refrences. That should do
teh trick.
Also make sure you are running v1.1 of the .NET
Framework.
I have visual studio.net 2002 only, how can I run v1.1
of the .NET framework ?
