Hi
As part of a system I need to create a file uploading application - User
should be able to select few files ( or a whole folder) and upload all the
files on a server using web service.
I wanted to know if it is possible to mimic basic functionality of windows
explorer - show files with correct icons and allow navigation in folder.

I know that I can optionally use Open File dialog but I think it would be
nicer to use regular ListView.

I don't do too much windows forms development so any tip is welcome.
Thank you,
Shimon
 
Hi Shimon,

Thanks for your post.

In .Net winform, we can use TreeView and ListView controls to simulate the
Windows Explorer style UI, please refer to the links below for samples:

Hope this helps
