    Adding Directory selection to FileOpenDialog

    I hope this hasn't been covered a million times!! I have searched for
    alternatives to selecting a directory or multiple directories using
    FileOpenDialog, and haven't found anything like I need. I need the exact
    capabilities of FileOpenDialog, just with the added ability to add
    directories. I need the MultiSelect also! Has anyone added this
    functionality to the existing FileOpenDialog?

    Thanks!

      For your information, there is a class called
      System.Windows. Forms.FolderBro wserDialog (1.1 only) which can be used
      to bring up a "Browse for Folder" dialog. However, as far as I know,
      this can only be used to select *single* folders.

          I am aware of FolderBrowserDi alog, but as you mentioned it does not allow
          multiple select, which I need.

          Thanks!

              I think you'd have to create your own kind of dialog for this, in that
              case. Either that or use one someone else has already made for this
              purpose.

              Good luck.
