Hi,

I have a textbox where users can enter a directory which the program then
uses. How can I add a button to let the users select a directory and the
selected directory be placed in the textbox? (I know how to add a button,
but I don't know the code for this).

Thanks

Be aware that there is in version Net 1.1 a serious bug without the service
pack for that.
