File Open Dialog box in C#
To Open or to Save file we use dialog box in all the windows applications. To use open or save dialog box we should use the following directive statement.
using System.Windows.Forms;
Because these dialog boxes are defined in System.windows.Forms.
In the following code i have used the file open dialog box for demo.
OpenFileDialog openFileDialog = new OpenFileDialog();
openFileDialog.Title = "Kanbal.com open dialog box demo";
openFileDialog.InitialDirectory = @"c:\Program Files";
openFileDialog.Filter = "All files (*.*)|*.*|All files (*.*)|*.*";
openFileDialog.FilterIndex = 2;
openFileDialog.RestoreDirectory = true;
if (openFileDialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
txtFileName.Text = openFileDialog.FileName;
}
The above code will display the open dialog box with all files filter like exactly below.
You can use various properties like Title, Filter, InitialDirectory to make your dialog box more friendly.
