Examples

The following code example uses the OpenFileDialog implementation of FileDialog and illustrates creating, setting of properties, and showing the dialog box. The example uses the RestoreDirectory property to ensure that the previously selected directory is restored when the dialog box is closed. The example requires a form with a Button placed on it and the System.IO namespace added to it.
C#

var fileContent = string.Empty;
var filePath = string.Empty;

using (OpenFileDialog openFileDialog = new OpenFileDialog())
{
openFileDialog.InitialDirectory = "c:\\";
openFileDialog.Filter = "txt files (*.txt)|*.txt|All files (*.*)|*.*";
openFileDialog.FilterIndex = 2;
openFileDialog.RestoreDirectory = true;

if (openFileDialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
//Get the path of specified file
filePath = openFileDialog.FileName;

//Read the contents of the file into a stream
var fileStream = openFileDialog.OpenFile();

using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(fileStream))
{
fileContent = reader.ReadToEnd();
}
}
}

MessageBox.Show(fileContent, "File Content at path: " + filePath, MessageBoxButtons.OK);
