    Get OpenFileDialog filename path...

    After I select a file with the OpenFileDialog, I get the file name
    with .FileName,
    but I want to know the drive and path where that file is.
    What function, method, class can I use in C# to get the drive and
    path?

      You can use the Path.GetDirecto ryName to get the path(directory)
      and you can use Path.VolumeSepa ratorChar to split the filename and use
      the first part. There could be better way of doing this.

          Path.GetDirecto ryName?
          I don't know where Path is what class is that?

                  fdlg.FilterInde x = 2;
                  fdlg.RestoreDir ectory = true;
                  if (fdlg.ShowDialo g() == DialogResult.OK )
                  {
                  string dirName =

                  MessageBox.Show (drive);
                  }

                  Hopefully this should help...

                      Remindes me of borland fnsplit, which gave you drive, path filename
                      and extension.
