OpenFileDialog does not browse the folders under .NET CF

I have an WinMo app and I would like to open a file from the storage card. The file is NOT in the root but within the folder structure. I thought OpenFileDialog would do the trick just as it does under regular .NET. But it does not offer me to navigate over the folders. I looks really lame. Or am I just outstandingly stupid?

+4  A: 

The OFD in the CF, to put it bluntly, sucks. It has the ability to only browse a few select folders, and as a developer you have no control over what they are. To browse all folders you need to either roll your own dialog or get a third-party one.
