I coded the following XAML
<FileDialogs:ExplorerControl x:Name="ecDeployStuff" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="12,28,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" CurrentDirectoryPath="C:\lala\Main\zzzDevelopment\abc" />
when I launch the WPF app it shows as the C: drive
am I missing another property to make the CurrentDirectoryPath work?
I've tested your code and it works properly on my side. You can see this in the attached project. If the folder is not opened then probably its access is restricted or it doesn't exist.
