Use an "Editor" attribute to specify the editor of the property. Make sure you have a reference to System.Design.dll in your project.

public partial class UserControl1 : UserControl
{
    public UserControl1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    [Editor(typeof(System.Windows.Forms.Design.FolderNameEditor), typeof(System.Drawing.Design.UITypeEditor))]
    public string SelectedPath
    {
        get;
        set;
    }
}
