FolderBrowserDialog Exception when creating folder on Desktop

FolderBrowserDialog Exception when creating folder on Desktop

• Robert Wang

  Now it seems it works....

  Before yesterday when I noticed the exception some things have changed.

  Yesterday, I noticed some strange behaviour with Internet Explorer 7 Beta. I had an instance of IE open, but when switching from one tab page to another, the whole screen was refreshing, not only the currently viewed tab page.

  For today, I upgraded to IE7, release version and I also installed some updates for Windows2003 and I 've also restarted the PC and the exception does no longer occur when I try to make a folder on the desktop. With the latest IE7, I didn't notice any screen refreshing when changing from one tab to another

  I don't have other clues...

  It might be a bug in v1.x of the framework. It works under v2.0. Can you post the code you're using so we can test it.

  It's not a complicated application. It's just a test form with 2 textboxes, a button  and a FolderBrowserButton object. In the handler of the OnClick event, I show the FolderBrowserDialog. In the FolderBrowserDialog I go in the Desktop folder of the current user and I try to make a new folder...but an exception is thrown.

  Below is the code(a simple test form):

  using System;

  using System.Drawing;

  using System.Collections;

  using System.ComponentModel;

  using System.Windows.Forms;

  using System.Data;

  namespace TestFolderBrowserDialog

  {

  /// <summary>

  /// Summary description for Form1.

  /// </summary>

  public class Form1 : System.Windows.Forms.Form

  {

  private System.Windows.Forms.FolderBrowserDialog folderBrowserDialog;

  private System.Windows.Forms.Button btnBrowse;

  private System.Windows.Forms.Label lblPath;

  private System.Windows.Forms.TextBox txtBxPath;

  private System.Windows.Forms.TextBox txtBxStackTrace;

  private System.Windows.Forms.Label lblStackTrace;

  /// <summary>

  /// Required designer variable.

  /// </summary>

  private System.ComponentModel.Container components = null;

  public Form1()

  {

  //

  // Required for Windows Form Designer support

  //

  InitializeComponent();

  //

  // TODO: Add any constructor code after InitializeComponent call

  //

  }

  /// <summary>

  /// Clean up any resources being used.

  /// </summary>

  protected override void Dispose( bool disposing )

  {

  if( disposing )

  {

  if (components != null)

  {

  components.Dispose();

  }

  }

  base.Dispose( disposing );

  }

  Your code is working for me. I've tried a couple of different combinations. Do you select the Desktop item or do you borrow down to the Document and Settings/... folder and then create the folder Both cases work for me but there is a UI glitch when searching for the actual folder. Again it might be a v1.x issue. I don't have VS2003 so I can't test it. It does work in v2.0.
