newbie wants to browse for files/folders
-
I have seen C++ and C# examples but they are way to complex for this newcomer to vb.net. Does anybody have a sample project that I could learn from? TIA Gerry :confused:

OK, so I have found OpenFileDialog() and .ShowDialog() and I can copy the results to a listbox for display. Now the next question is "how do I find the directory name where the files were selected from?" I prefer not to parse it from one of the listbox entries. Thanks, Gerry :)

If all you want to do is browse for a folder, try this: http://www.codeguru.com/vb/articles/1864.shtml[^]

See my replies (with more info) to myself. I have discovered over the last few days how to browse to the folder, select files, copy them to a listbox, and then process the files from the listbox. When I have time this weekend, I will post the project on http://files.danen.org/h/prg\_vbnet.shtml for everyone's benefit. Thanks for your response. :-) Gerry
