Demonstrates
This sample provides an interface for running the file-system methods of the My.Computer.FileSystem Object. A TreeView control on one side lets you pick the type of methods that you want to run. When a method is selected, a custom control appears on the form that enables you to input parameters for the method and then execute the method. Thus the project contains a separate user control for each method demonstrated.
