Re: Browse for folders dialog

Hey Russell,

I'm pretty sure that's not possible with FolderBrowserDialog. You obviously
should have something running on the remote machine that would tell you its
local file system structure. SQL Server does this behind the scenes, but
you'll have to come up with your own solution (possibly .NET
Remoting-based).

Hi

To my knowledge, the FolderBrowserDialog only shows folders/paths that
are available from the local machine. If a server has a share you can
get to it through the share name, however this is not what I'm after. I
would like to see C:\..., D:\... as if the dialog had been opened on
the server, this would be different from the structure shown on the
local machine. Again the only example of this I can point to is the way
SQL Server Enterprise Manager does it with new database files.

If the FolderBrowserDialog can do this then I would be greatful if you
could let me know how to set it up to use a file structure on another
machine.

Thanks
Russell Mason
