Folder Browsing --- Easy way 2

Chris Anderson suggested to use FolderNameEditor which in System.Design.dll

 public class BrowseForFolder : FolderNameEditor
 {
  // inherit the FolderNameEditor class
  FolderNameEditor.FolderBrowser fBrowser;
    
  public BrowseForFolder()
  {
   // contructor
   // create an instance of FolderBrowser
   fBrowser = new System.Windows.Forms.Design.FolderNameEditor.FolderBrowser();
  }
    
  public string ShowIt(string textdescription)
  {
   // set the Description label  
   fBrowser.Description = textdescription;
   fBrowser.ShowDialog(); // show the Windows
   return fBrowser.DirectoryPath;// return whatever path choosen
  }
  ~BrowseForFolder()
  {
   // destructor
   fBrowser.Dispose();
  }
 }

Usage:
   BrowseForFolder test = new BrowseForFolder();
   string sPath = test.ShowIt("Easyone!");

   MessageBox.Show(sPath);

Key:  you have to reference the System.Design.dll (C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322)to be able to access the FolderNameEditor namespace.

Note: still not available for Compact Framework.
