FolderBrowserDialog.InitialDirectory property is not shown

[IlyaRabyy]

Colleagues,
I use the Dialog in subject to let the User select an output dir for files. I want the initial dir shown in this dialog to be a certain one. Here's the article in the MS VS Help:
"FolderBrowserDialog.InitialDirectory Property

Namespace: System.Windows.Forms

Assembly: System.Windows.Forms.dll

Gets or sets the initial directory displayed by the folder browser dialog.
C#

public string InitialDirectory { get; set; }

Property Value String

Applies to
Product Versions
Windows Desktop 6, 7 RC 1 "
(

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/d...log.initialdirectory?view=windowsdesktop-6.0)

However, when I start typing the dialog's name an put in a dot, the InitialDirectory property isn't shown!

As you can see, there's only one "Initial" property shown in the drop-down "cheat-sheet", and it's not InitialDirectory!
What am I missing?
Please advise!
TIA!

Regards,

Ilya

The above is your problem. You are quoting documentation for Windows Desktop 6, which requires .Net 6. And technically .NET 6 is not compatible with VS19 (which I believe is what you are using)

Colleagues,
The problem was resolved by assigning the Dialog's SelectedPath property before firing ShowDialog method.
