how to do i get the unc path value from text textbox

[DON JEFFERS]

Hello all,

I am working on an application that connects to a unc path with credentials. My application scans the network for shared computers then the user selects the computer from a listbox and from the listbox the IP address goes to a textbox.

In this textbox resides the IP address I would like to know how to open a unc path from a textbox on button click I have some code below to show what I have so far. Button1 is supposed to browse the unc path from IPtxt (which is the textbox that the IP address resides in).

If someone can point me in the right direction or an example of how I can go about doing this it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
