I am trying to code so that my root folder shows if the user chooses cancel but I can't seem to figure it out. Any assistance? My code is below. Dim dlgSetFolderLocation As New FolderBrowserDialog ' User instructions. dlgSetFolderLocation.Description = Please select a folder for the download. ' Disable NewFolder option. dlgSetFolderLocation.ShowNewFolderButton = False ' Set root folder where user starts browsing. dlgSetFolderLocation.RootFolder = Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop ' Path user selects. dlgSetFolderLocation.SelectedPath = My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.Desktop ' If the user clicks OK button.. If dlgSetFolderLocation.ShowDialog = DialogResult.OK Then ' Show user path in lblFolderLocation Me.lblFolderLocation.Text = dlgSetFolderLocation.SelectedPath Else ' If user selects cancel show root path in lblFolderLocation End If End Sub

Hi Iceblizzard Its pretty simple Create a new windows application drag and drop FolderBrowserDialog control from toolbox Probable its id will be folderBrowseDialog1. Now add a button control and text box control to your form (just drag and drop). You can change their name too (As i changed their name to btnClick and txtBrowseText. Now i am giving you a sample 2 line C# code on button click. folderBrowserDialog1.ShowDialog(); txtBrowseText.Text = folderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath; Change this C# Code to your VB.NET. Now when you will click to button it will open folder browser control and you can select your desired folder. After clicking ok text box will show the selected path by folder browser dialog control. Feel free to ask more ...
