.net - C# OpenFileDialog for getting a user-selected output path for a Windows form? -
good morning,
i'm trying figure out how use openfiledialog function in c# allow user select desired output folder. right have button , textbox on windows form. user hit button, , open dialog gui @ run-time allow user navigate the output location, hit ok. should have confirmation of selection having path displayed in textbox.
the code have right follows:
private void button1_click_3(object sender, eventargs e) { openfiledialog outputfilepath = new openfiledialog(); string outputstring = outputfilepath.filename; filepathbox.text = outputstring; }
it compiles fine, when hit button, doesn't bring file dialog box.
i'm sure it's simple i'm not seeing?
thanks in advance!

you need show dialog , check dialogresult because user can click cancel
openfiledialog outputfilepath = new openfiledialog(); var res = outputfilepath.showdialog(); if (res == dialogresult.ok) { string outputstring = outputfilepath.filename; filepathbox.text = outputstring; }
