Using windows explorer in my C# form

[Fred]

I have a need to use windows explorer, or an equivalent if there is one,
within my app.
I am currently using a treeview to display contents of a database.
I wish to be able to use explorer to locate the database i will be using in
the treeview, but, i would like explorer to occupy the same space as the
treeview whilst the treeview is inactive, i.e. no active database chosen.
If that is not possible and i must use the normal explorer option, how do I
launch explorer and retrieve my path from it?

TIA

As far as I know, there is no such control as "Windows Explorer", but what
you can probably do is create your own "Windows Explorer" control with the
basic set of cuntionality that you need. You can have a look at the
following article which uses a ListView and TreeView to create a Explorer
Control.

I hope that this would help.
