So I'm making a program where I will need to have the user browse for and select a folder. A normal browse dialog box will pop up and the user will select a folder from there. Then, the folder will be displayed in a dialog box on the form. How do I make this happen in Visual C#? Any hints, directions? I've never done anything like this before, it's all a learning experience.

First create a label, a button and a FolderBrowserDialog. Double click the button to access its button_click code, then add these two lines:

code:
folderBrowserDialog1.ShowDialog();
label1.Text = folderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath;


Hope that helps.
