folderbrowserdialog access to path is invalid

Question

Everytime i run the program it has an error that says access to the path is denied. i already check the folder allowed all users, unchecked the read only and still it wont work

private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    try
    {
        FolderBrowserDialog fbd = new FolderBrowserDialog();
        DialogResult result = fbd.ShowDialog();
        string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(fbd.SelectedPath);
        textBox2.Text = fbd.SelectedPath;
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
          MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, "Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);

    }
}

You don't appear to be doing anything with the `DialogResult`. If you hit cancel, `SelectedPath` is going to be empty. — Simon Whitehead, Apr 04 '13 at 05:12

Add a check on result.

DialogResult result = fbd.ShowDialog();
if (result == DialogResult.OK)
{
    string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(fbd.SelectedPath);
    textBox2.Text = fbd.SelectedPath;
}
