Hi, can anyone recommend a good example site or provide an example on how to use a common dialog box in C#? The one on MSDN is confusing to me.
My program processes .csv files. My goal is to be able to point my program to a directory file which holds the .csv files at the start of the program. Also, I want the user to be able to choose the directory where the program outputs the processed output.
Thank You.
Steve
Code:[STAThread] static void Main(string[] args) { using (FolderBrowserDialog dialog = new FolderBrowserDialog()) { //Set the root folder dialog.RootFolder = Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop; //Set the currently selected directory dialog.SelectedPath = Environment.CurrentDirectory; //Do you want to allow the user to create folders in this dialog? dialog.ShowNewFolderButton = true; //A meaningful description dialog.Description = "This is a description"; if(dialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK) MessageBox.Show(dialog.SelectedPath); } }
If I did your homework for you, then you might pass your class without learning how to write a program like this. Then you might graduate and get your degree without learning how to write a program like this. You might become a professional programmer without knowing how to write a program like this. Someday you might work on a project with me without knowing how to write a program like this. Then I would have to do you serious bodily harm. - Jack Klein
Thank you pianorain.
Pianorain: How can I specify a specific file to use, rather then just a folder?
You'll want to use the OpenFileDialog class.
