Davy Brion Hey, i'm sure i overlooked something silly, but for some reason if i try to use the FolderBrowserDialog.ShowDialog method, the dialog does not show a treeview containing folders... the dialog only contains the button to create a new folder (which also doesn't do anything) and the Ok and Cancel buttons. I get this behaviour no matter what value i assign to the RootFolder property before calling the ShowDialog method. Does anyone know what i'm doing wrong here? thx ps: using .NET 1.1 with SP1 on XP Pro SP2 -- Reply to this message...        Herfried K.

'STAThread' is the default, so it doesn't need to be explicitly added to your 'void Main'/'Sub Main'. -- M S Herfried K.
