A common thing asked for is a folderbrowser control for winforms ( curse =
microsoft for not including one ), and a common answer is to use the=20
System.Windows.Forms.Design.FolderNameEditor.FolderBrowser Class.

However, I was just thinking...
when somebody installs the framework with that small distributable =
instead of the sdk, do they even get the design dll where that resides?

Andy,

I believe the System.Design.dll, which includes the design namespaces
such as System.Windows.Forms.Design, is included with the standard
distribution.

That said, the documentation for the FolderBrowser class states that
it is for internal use only, so I normally stay away from it. You can
create your own form of this ilk using a tree view and a text box that
can be re-used across applications.

There will be a FolderBrowser control included in the next release of
the .NET Framework.

If you can't wait until then, I'd advise you to use the one provided by
MSDN: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=3Dkb;EN-US;q306285.

Thanks,
Kevin
