How to show directories and files from selected drive into tree view control?

[cool_intentions]

Hello Guys,
Am having a new assignment and a new problem. I should make C# application witch shows drive letters in combo box, directories and only .txt files in tree view, and I should be able to open text file from tree view in text box using Open button. I all ready have code to show me drives letters in combo box, but I don’t know how to get tree view from selected drive in tree view control.
Thanks all for helping me.

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            System.IO.DriveInfo[] drives = System.IO.DriveInfo.GetDrives();
            for (int i = 0; i <= drives.Length - 1; i++)
            {
                comboBox1.Items.Add(drives[i].Name);
                comboBox1.SelectedIndex = -1;
            }
        }

Why would you have drives in seperated combo? Wouldn`t be better to have all in treeView?

Like I said.. This is assignment witch I have to solve. I must have it separated. It would be probably much easier to have all in one place.

Where do you have subdirectories?

[cool_intentions]

In this BeforeExpand event.

private void treeView1_BeforeExpand(object sender, TreeViewCancelEventArgs e)
        {
            try
            {
               
                TreeNode courentNode = e.Node;
                DirectoryInfo folderPaht = new DirectoryInfo(comboBox1.SelectedItem + courentNode.FullPath);
                
                foreach (DirectoryInfo dir in folderPaht.GetDirectories())
                {
                    string fileName = dir.Name;
                    TreeNode node = courentNode.Nodes.Add(fileName);
                    node.Nodes.Add(" ");
                }
          
            }
          }

This code for assignment TekstČitač doesn't work for me. I tried, but nothing happens. Is it working for someone else?
