FolderBrowserDialog

[Rudolf van der Hoff]

Hi all,

I have to select a folder in my PDA application.

I would normally use the FolderBrowserDialog . However this device control
is not available in the compact framework.

Which solutions ARE available in the compact framework?

TIA

Rudolf

If the device is a generic CE device you can use this library which wraps
the native functionality in a class which behaves just like the full
framework equivalent:-

If your device is a Pocket PC as I would suspect the native control is not
supported, the only option is to write your own code to enumerate and
display the device folder structure. This article will give you an idea of
some of the System.IO functionality although the examples are designed for
Smartphone:-
