How to make a Browse Button 1

[natwod]

Hi, I'm new at C# and I was wondering if there is an easy (built-in) way to make a browse button, which opens up a browse window and returns the pathname to a file.

Anybody?

Thanks!

Yep it is fairly easy:

OpenFileDialog ofdMyDialog = new OpenFileDialog();

ofdMyDialog.Filter = "Text Files (*.txt)|*.txt|All Files (*.*)|*.*";
ofdMyDialog.CheckFileExists = true;

string strFileName = string.empty;
if (ofdMyDialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
// They clicked the ok button, should have a pathname here
strFileName = ofdMyDialog.FileName;
}
