Property Value

Type: System.String
The name of the displayed folder. The default is an empty string ("").

Remarks

This property contains only the folder name without path information, such as the "Business" folder or "All Folders" folder, and has the following functionality:

You can only specify folders that are subfolders in the My Documents folder.
You cannot specify a path to access a subfolder. Any path information is interpreted as the name of one folder, and does not return an error.
If the specified folder does not exist or is not under the My Documents folder, DocumentList defaults to the My Documents folder.
Changing the value of this property raises the SelectedDirectoryChanged event.
The SelectedDirectoryChanged event causes this property to be updated with the current value.

Examples

The following code example sets the SelectedDirectory property. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the DocumentList class.

.SelectedDirectory = "Business"

DocList.SelectedDirectory = "Personal";
