I try to search a folder and when I find to copy the address in a textBox1 .I have the next code, but this doesn't work properly, with this code I just find the files. My question is : How can I change the code to make a browse button for find a folder and when I find to copy the address in textBox1? 

private void browse_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) 
{
    OpenFileDialog fDialog = new OpenFileDialog();
    fDialog.Title = "Browse";
    fDialog.InitialDirectory = @"C:\LegacyApp\MATLAB\R2008a_64-bit";
    fDialog.Filter = "All files(*.*)|*.*|All files(*.*)|*.*";
    fDialog.FilterIndex = 2;
    fDialog.RestoreDirectory = true;
    if (fDialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
    {
        textBox1.Text = fDialog.FileName;               
    }
}

To browse folder, you need FolderBrowserDialog

private void browse_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) 
{
     if (folderBrowserDialog1.ShowDialog() == System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK)
     {
         textBox1.Text = folderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath;
     }
}

Try something like the following

textbox1.Text = fdialog.FileName.Substring(0, fdialog.FileName.lastIndexOf(@"\"));
