    C# 2008 fileopendialog

    Hi
    is there a way to use the fileopen dialog in c# 2008, so that when i
    am traversing a directory to find a file to open, if i click on a
    shortcut to a file or a shortcut to a directory, it will open the file
    or diretory pointed to by that shortcut.
    Of course if the shortcut is point to a directory it should just take
    to that directory to let me select a file inside.

    At the moment i cannot get the fileopen dialog to show any shortcuts
    in the directory i am looking at.

    Any help appreciated

    thanks

      Normally you would set OpenFileDialog. DereferenceLink s to determine
      how the Dialog deals with shortcuts, however, as far as I am aware,
      the default setting should already be to follow the shortcut.
      Could you possibly post a short example of the code that is causing
      the problem?

          My bad,
          i got myself totaly confused and made a mistake

          to clarify this i should have said

          i wanted to use FolderBrowserDi alog to browse through a directory
          structure, and if there was a shortcut pointing to another directory
          be able to select the shortcut and go there,

          however it is FolderBrowserDi alog that apparently does not show
          shortcuts becasue shortcuts are actually files.

          and i cant use the OpenFileDialog becasue i cant select folders with
          it.

          Is it possible tocombine the features of one into the other, i think
          to make the FolderBrowserDi alog select and use shortcuts would be my
          best option.

          Is this possible ?

          thanks for any help
