Browse the Hard Disk and get path of a folder in Vb.Net 2005?

I am developing a windows application in vb.net 2005.
On one form I will click on one "Browse" button and one dialog box for browsing Hard disk drive should get open.
Then I will select one folder from that dialog box and click ok. then path of that folder should be displayed in one textbox on the same form
I know how to do this for a file using OpenFIleDialog box, but how to do this for directory.

Could u pleaseprovide me some code snippet to use that control.

Drag it onto the form from the toolbox:

Then to call it upwrite:

Code Snippet
FolderBrowserDialog1.showDialog()

and to see what the user selected:

Code Snippet
Me.text = FolderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath

Don't forget to check the value of selectedPath because the user may cancel the selection, in which case it will be empty!

Code Snippet

If FolderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath <> "" then

' Do something with it

end if

Sorry to interfere, however I would be iterested to know if there is an equivalent method for Visual Basic for Excel. Your help will be very much appreciated.

Thanks
