I found some resources about how to write a File Browser in C#, but the were all at least 3 years old. I am wondering if importing the shell32 DLL is still the best way to do this. I am a mac developer by trade so please excuse me if my question is a little strange. It just seems this method is going outside of the .NET framework and I was wondering if there is a better way. Thanks
Sorry if I’ve misunderstood you, but it sounds like you’re trying to create something to scan through directories and get lists of files. If so, then check out System.IO. The File and Directory classes along with FileInfo and DirectoryInfo should give you everything you need.
