FolderBrowserDialog Component Overview (Windows Forms)
The Windows Forms xref:System.Windows.Forms.FolderBrowserDialog component is a modal dialog box that is used for browsing and selecting folders. New folders can also be created from within the xref:System.Windows.Forms.FolderBrowserDialog component.
Note
To select files, instead of folders, use the OpenFileDialog component.
The xref:System.Windows.Forms.FolderBrowserDialog component is displayed at run time using the xref:System.Windows.Forms.CommonDialog.ShowDialog%2A method. Set the xref:System.Windows.Forms.FolderBrowserDialog.RootFolder%2A property to determine the top-most folder and any subfolders that will appear within the tree view of the dialog box. Once the dialog box has been shown, you can use the xref:System.Windows.Forms.FolderBrowserDialog.SelectedPath%2A property to get the path of the folder that was selected.
When it is added to a form, the xref:System.Windows.Forms.FolderBrowserDialog component appears in the tray at the bottom of the Windows Forms Designer in Visual Studio.
