Looking for 3 classic vb controls!

I'm working through a VB .NET book and in one of the lessons I must customize/add three controls to the toolbox: DirListBox, DriveListBox and FileListBox. I realize that these 3 are gone in .NET and that the OpenFileDialog control is the only .NET solution. However, how do I find/ download these 3/ put into my toolbox since I do not have VB 6 installed on my computer?

Any suggetions would be greatly appreciated! (Also, I have already looked in the .NET Framework Components tab and do not see any of these 3 listed.

AFAIR they were "instrinsic" controls, not ActiveX controls. You *could* use
the MSVB compatibility library (on the .NET folder of the add reference
dialog, not on the COM folder) that contains them, though it is not
recommended to use it in not-upgraded applications.
