OpenFileDialog Saving Path Only
Dec 6, 2011
I'm sure this has been addressed in other threads, but I wasn't able to come across any using the search function.I'm using the OpenFileDialog feature to have the user select a file. However, I want to have a label display the path of the file only.I've been using the OpenFileDialog1. SafeFileName feature to save only the name of the file, but I haven't found one that will save the path, but not the file name.I considered splicing the path and file name, but with an unpredictable path length and unpredictable file extension type, I thought it would get messy.

This is my first post on dreamInCode, Is it possible to browse and select a file on a server share, but I need it to return the UNC path. e.g. if I select F:\sharename\filename.txt, it will work out the share path on the PC and show the actual Path.\\servername\sharegroupName\sharename\filename.txt
The reason for this is that some users have different share drive letters.

I'm revamping a program and am having a bit of trouble. See I was using StreamReader in my last program. The user had to type the path and file into a textbox to get the program to load the information it needed. So I wanted to change that and use a OpenFileDialog method.
I got the open file dialog method working but the 1st step before I go anywhere else with this program is getting the path to the file that was opened as it is needed to load images within the same folder.

I am using the open file dialog box. Right now the function looks like
Private Function OpenFileDialog1_FileOK(...)
File_Path_Name = OpenFileDialog1.Filename.ToString()
End Function
The thing is it isn't clear when this is called. I think it is called when I go through
OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog()
I want to return a value that is the Filename path to a variable like
file_path = Function()
and not use a global variable. But it doesn't seem like this is possible. Do you know how to get the function OpenFileDialog to return the file path?

I'm working on an application, a GUI front-end for a command-line program. What I need to do is this:-use the OpenFileDialog to retrieve the command-line program's path (as it may be in different places for different users)-save that path string in a variable that I can use later (save "C: arget" in a variable called mainPath)

I have a class that contains one function: "ShowDialog()" It creates a new openfiledialog and sets its title, but when it is run, the title of the openfiledialog is set to the current directory that is shown in the dialog. I would not like this behavior. Here is the code:
Public Class LoadSet
Public Shared Function ShowDialog() As System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult
Dim Dialog As New System.Windows.Forms.OpenFileDialog
Dialog.DefaultExt = ".bsfci"

How would I do that? Sample code is below that demonstrated that the file I opened contained the full path and file name.
I want to extract just the path and serialize that to the user.config file as a UserSetting value. Then next time the user opens the dialog box, it uses that saved path string to go immediately to the location previously used.
If openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
Properties.Settings.Default.persistConnectionType = openFileDialog1.FileName
Properties.Settings.Default.Save();

Problem drawing dotted path lines, with even dots along the path line.I want to draw a path line that can be any shape (square, round, outline etc), and along this path line I want even dots to appear.
I also want to be able to resize the shape (as in the example attached)This is very easy to do using "DrawPath" and defining points for the path and using a pen defined as dots.The problem I have is I want the dots to be evenly placed along the path, on any shape or size I draw.In the example I have created, I create a square with 4 points and draw a dotted path.There are 2 buttons that allows me to resize the square (larger or smaller) this helps show the problem more clearly.
The path starts at the top left corner and finishes back at the top left corner, the dots are evenly placed along the path, except the final dots at the end of the path. (Sometimes the dots are even and other times they are not even).The shapes I want to draw can be any size and any shape, but I have used a square in this example to show the problem I have. point me in the direction I need to go that allows me to draw the dots and give the impression that they are even all along the path, for all shapes and sizes.
In the pictures below if you change the size of the shape, one will have even looking dots, the other will not.

I am trying to read and display a file using MapPath as follows :
Response.ContentType = "Application/pdf"
Dim FilePath As String = MapPath("../Document/123.pdf")
Response.WriteFile(FilePath)
Response.End()
This procedure will work fine and display in the browser. However, if I save the file to C:Document123.pdf, how can I access this file using relative path in MapPath function. Is there an option to access the file which is saved out of IIS server? I am using vb.net 2003.
