Hi,

I use vb.net, but I think the method will be similar:

You need to add an OpenFileDialog control to your form (from the toolbox), then call the OpenFileDialog1 .ShowDialog method to display it. The filename, including path, which the user has selected will be OpenFileDialog1 .FileName, so you would just set your textbox.Text property to that.

You should also check that the user hasn't cancelled the dialog - the .ShowDialog method returns True if a file is selected (i.e. user clicked OK or double clicked filename), or False if they cancelled.

In VB, you would do this as

If OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog = True Then
    myTextBox.Text = OpenFileDialog1.FileName
End If

Hope this helps,

Daniel

I use VB.NET also, but I know a tad C#, so, here goes:

        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            openFileDialog1.Filter = "Text Files .txt|*.txt";
            openFileDialog1.ShowDialog();


            if (openFileDialog1.FileName != "");
            {
                textBox1.Text = openFileDialog1.FileName;

            }



        }

I am Sangita Deori,working on C#.Net as a GIS developer in DAKC.I have also gone through your problem,the solution to your problem is very simple.M sendin a piece of code for atleast your programe to run.
You need to take a OpenDialog box ,text box(now for the properties for the text box do text= multiline, scrollbar as both or vartical anything you could take) and a button .

Now on button click write the following code.Believe me it will run


private void button1_Click(o bject sender, EventArgs e)
{
openFileDialog1 .ShowDialog();
string s = openFileDialog1 .FileName;
MessageBox.Show (s);
StringReader sr = new StringReader(s) ;
string t1 = sr.ReadToEnd();
textBox1.Append Text(t1);
textBox1.Append Text("********* **************" ); /* for seperating b/w paths,you could commecnt it too*/
sr.Close();
}
