    <summary>Creates a new dialog for the user to select one or more files, directories, or cancel.</summary>
    <remarks>
      <para>
        <see cref="T:Gtk.FileSelection" /> should be used to retrieve file or directory names from the user. It will create a new dialog window containing a directory list, and a file list corresponding to the current working directory.
    </para>
      <para>
    The filesystem can be navigated using the directory list or the drop-down history menu. Alternatively, the TAB key can be used to navigate using filename completion - common in text based editors such as emacs and jed.</para>
      <para>
    Simple file operations; create directory, delete file, and rename file, are available from buttons at the top of the dialog.</para>
      <para>
    The functionality of the <see cref="T:Gtk.FileSelection" /> can be extended by using the available accessors to the buttons and drop downs.
    </para>
      <example>
        <code lang="C#">
using System;
using Gtk;

class FileSelectionSample
{
	Label lbl;
	FileSelection fs;

	static void Main ()
	{
		new FileSelectionSample ();
	}

	FileSelectionSample ()
	{
		Application.Init ();
		Window win = new Window ("FileSelectionSample");

		win.DeleteEvent += new DeleteEventHandler (OnWinDelete);
		VBox vbox = new VBox (true, 1);
		win.Add (vbox);
		Button btn = new Button ("Select a file.");
		btn.Clicked += new EventHandler (OnButtonClicked);
		vbox.Add (btn);
		lbl = new Label ("Selected: ");
		vbox.Add (lbl);
		win.ShowAll ()

		fs = new FileSelection ("Choose a file");
		fs.Response += new ResponseHandler (OnFileSelectionResponse);

		Application.Run ();
	}

	void OnButtonClicked (object o, EventArgs args)

	{

			lbl.Text = "Selected: " + fs.Filename;
		}
	}

	void OnWinDelete (object o, DeleteEventArgs args)
