Can I read files inside a directory without using OpenFileDialog?

Question

I have an app and I am thinking that a WPF XBAP app would be best suited for this. However, I am not aware of the limitations that it comes with. So, before choosing this tool I need to be aware of it.

Basically I want to read any folder inside the OS and get listing of files inside that folder. Is this possible using WPF XBAP?

Answer 1

OpenFileDialog is just a media that makes selection & reading easier. You can read any folder as long as you know path & have permission to read the folder.
