Introduction

To use this, you'll need to add 3 Controls to the Toolbox that Microsoft has disabled by default. They are amazing controls that simplify the workload of this project by a lot.

They are, DriveListBox, DirListBox, and FileListBox. Simply go to Tools > Choose Toolbox Items > and check DriveListBox, DirListBox, and FileListBox. Once done, add them and go to your design view. Add the 3 new controls to your project (arrange to look good).

Using the code

        private void driveListBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            try
            {
                dirListBox1.Path = driveListBox1.Drive;
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                MessageBox.Show("Error : " + ex.Message, 
                                "Error", 
                                MessageBoxButtons.OK, 
                                MessageBoxIcon.Error);
            }
        }

        private void dirListBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
