(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hi, i am using Visual Studio 2010 (Visual Basic) and i have started to create a program, the problem is i have linked a BROWSE button to a FolderBrowseDialog and when i have selected a folder to open the text in the textbox doesnt change to the chosen folder path. Does anyone know how to make the textbox display the folder path for the chosen folder?

Another problem is that i have a button that i want to link to a .exe console application, does anyone know how to link it so that when i click the button the BROWSED file will open in the .exe console application?

Thanks in advance will +rep for solutions.

It would help if you posted the source code, many visual basic programmers browse this section and would be able to help you.

I'm assuming this is what you want for the first part:

        Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

        Dim openFolder As New FolderBrowserDialog



        openFolder.ShowDialog()

        pathTextBox.Text = openFolder.SelectedPath

    End Sub

2nd part:

    Imports System.IO

Public Class Form1



    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

        Dim openExe As New OpenFileDialog



     



        openExe.ShowDialog()

        Process.Start(openExe.FileName)

    End Sub

FolderBrowserDialog1.ShowDialog()
End Sub

And this is the code i use to open the file dialog and browse for a file which then the path is displyed in a text box:

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog()
End Sub

Private Sub OpenFileDialog1_FileOk(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles OpenFileDialog1.FileOk
TextBox1.Text = OpenFileDialog1.FileName
End Sub

But when this file has been displayed into the text box i want to execute it in a .exe console application with another button.

Thanks.

Or you could use simplicity and do it the easy way.

            OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog()

        TextBox1.Text = OpenFileDialog1.FileName

Or once the person has selected the file, if you want it to open use this.

        OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog()

        TextBox1.Text = OpenFileDialog1.FileName

        Process.Start(OpenFileDialog1.FileName)

This only works for OpenFileDialog, im using the FolderBrowseDialog which doesnt have that option?

Then use OpenFileDialog instead of the FolderBrowseDialog as the clue is in the name 'FOLDER' it will not show you items such as the files in the folder, it will only show you the folder structure (tree).
