OpenFileDialog Issue: Can't Retrieve Filename!

[NipsMG]

I'm trying to use the ResEditor sample in the .NET Framework.

There's code for an "Open File " Dialog box as listed below:

if (openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK) 

			{
				currentFileName =  openFileDialog1.FileName;

				FileInfo efInfo = new FileInfo(currentFileName);

...

No matter what File I select, or from what directory, openFileDialog1.FileName is ALWAYS BLANK.

I can't retrieve the selected filename.

Does anyone know why?!

This works for me, where the "this" is a winform.

if (ofDialog.ShowDialog(this) == DialogResult.OK)
{
   this.Controller.LoadScript(ofDialog.FileName);

I get AssemblyName.FormName does not contain a definition for Controller.

Is the Multiselect property = false.

Yes.

Controller and it's method LoadScript is from my code. They're just there as an example.

What you might want to do is break it up into individual assignments, so that you can use the Autos and Local debugger windows to inspect their values.

DialogResult dr;

dr = ofDialog.ShowDialog(this);

//Inspect dr
if (dr == DialogResult.OK
{
   string s = ofDialog.FileName;
   //Inspect s
