I have a FolderBrowserDialog, displayed with code shown below. However, it keeps opening with 'Computer', i.e. the root of the folder tree, selected. How do I get it to open on the selected folder?
var folderBrowser = new FolderBrowserDialog();
folderBrowser.Description = "Select Chase 6 Installation Folder";
folderBrowser.RootFolder = Environment.SpecialFolder.MyComputer;
folderBrowser.ShowNewFolderButton = false;
if (Directory.Exists(Properties.Settings.Default.defaultChasePath))
{
string x = Properties.Settings.Default.defaultChasePath;
folderBrowser.SelectedPath = x;
}
if (folderBrowser.ShowDialog(this) == DialogResult.OK)
{
chasePathtext.Text = folderBrowser.SelectedPath;
}
