There is no SelectFolderDialog in .NET but It is present itself in Visual Studio 2010.

I was wondering if there is any external .net component like this form.

Here is the VS2010 Dialog :

SelectFolderDialog

Please Note that I dont want to use the FolderBrowserDialog and I need to get the Specific UI described in the SelectFolderDialog

Here is a library that provides access to the folder browser dialog etc. http://www.ookii.org/software/dialogs/

It is a wrapper around several Win32 dialogs, it provides both a Windows Forms and WPF variant, and it provides the "Vista style" SelectFolderDialog that you have displayed for example.

To gain access to the posh new Vista folder selection dialog then I believe that you need to either:

  1. Use a third party component, or
  2. Use the native IFileDialog component.

Option 2 is easy enough using the Windows API CodePack. You need to include the FOS_PICKFOLDERS option. The CodePack comes with lots of examples. I commend it to you.

    yes, the FolderBrowserDialog is one of those controls I hate seeing in apps, especially when I've come from copying the path to the folder I need, only to find there's no place to paste! – ericosg May 25 '12 at 13:21
