I have a program where the users generally use UNC paths. For a textbox where they type in a new path to work with, I'd like to be able to make it easy for them by having a button to fire off a FolderBrowserDialog so they can just navigate to it. Alas, I cannot seem to feed it a UNC path as a starting point.
View 4 RepliesI want to set the System.Windows.Forms.FolderBrowserDialog to a default path when I load it up. If I set the selectedpath that works but I have to scroll down to that folder to select another one in it.
All I want it to do is start from the passed path; i.e. e:defaultpath ewdocs.
I want to show a textbox Partial of a path
Example:
Complete path
C:UsersuserDocumentsfolder1foder2folder3
Partial path
folder1foder2folder3
Been reading about Relative and Absolute Path but do not understand.

Do anyone know if its possible to set the rootfolder of a FolderBrowserDialog box to only show my network places (xp) / Network (Vista). It's not available as a Environment.SpecialFolder in vb.net.
like the dialog you get when selecting map network drive -> Browse in windows explorer, see screenshot below.
is there away to create a new environment.specialfolder to a self created folder? So I can use this as a rootfolder in the FolderBrowserDialog?

I want to store the path for the image next to the other data, storing the path as a string. When no image is chosen, the variable for the path is simply "no image".
