Folderbrowserdialog in winforms c #

Question

I am using folderBrowserDialog in my winform.

I need the default or start path to be network.

eg:

folderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath = @"\\server1\foo\bar\";

This does not work. My system is on the correct network, and I can access the directory through my browser and execute the command.

Is this a non-function? or is there a workaround? I would appreciate if anyone could guide me through!

Thanks, Ivar

In my experience, .NET has always been successful or missing with UNC paths. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. I am sure that there is a good explanation, but in the beginning I searched and searched without finding an answer.
