Question

Can I Use Openfiledialog to browser folder? Because I really hate using FolderBrowserDialog().

I had the same issue in one of my projects and found a solution. You can use it if you get the Microsoft.WindowsAPICodePack-Shell nuget package and use the Microsoft.WindowsAPICodePack.Dialogs namespace. Use it as such:

CommonOpenFileDialog dialog = new CommonOpenFileDialog
    {
            IsFolderPicker = true
    };
if (dialog.ShowDialog() == CommonFileDialogResult.Ok)
    {
            // the selected directory is in dialog.FileName
    }
