Graphically displaying directory structures

Is this a real project or just an exercise? I ask becuase how I would ansewer this question would depend on how much you wanted to learn.

If you really wanted to make something very special I would create a user control and place a picture box within the control, then you can make the folder look exactly as you wish and end up with a highly reusable and portable feature.

Is Treeview not helping you?

i want a more graphical view than i think treeview can do. or maybe it can do more???

its for a possible project...just trying to get an idea of how i should start.

There are two problems: getting the directory structure and putting it into a tree view.  

I'd concentrate on getting the directory structure first.  You have to watch out for the silly things like . and ..  If you try expanding those, you'll get into an infinite loop.

Only start looking at the treeview when you've gotten the directory structure.  That way, if you hit a problem, you'll know it is to do with the treeview: not getting the directory structure.

Tree view will accept tab separated strings to create a merged list and tree view so you could display the structure with the properties of each entry.

Try OsenXpSuite 2006 - A third party control that will make your application eye catching. Not only for displaying your need and for all your imagination and expectations. Have a look on it
