Vb.net - FolderBrowserDialog

Question

I am having some troubles with FolderBrowserDialog I've tried all the post I could find here and I'm almost there in terms of what I want. following is my code:

Private Sub ButtonBrowseOutput_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles ButtonBrowseOutput.Click
    Dim dialog = New FolderBrowserDialog()
    dialog.SelectedPath = Application.StartupPath
    If DialogResult.OK = dialog.ShowDialog() Then
        TextBoxShowOutput.Text = dialog.ToString & "/helloforum" & ".txt"
    End If
End Sub

would give me something like this:

System.Windows.Forms.FolderBrowserDialog/helloforum.txt

Where I want it to give it for example:

c:/users/sexyname/desktop/helloforum.txt

Solution 1

TextBoxShowOutput.Text = dialog.ToString & "/helloforum" & ".txt"

Must be:

TextBoxShowOutput.Text = dialog.SelectedPath & "/helloforum" & ".txt"

Solution 2

SelectedPath - Gets or sets the path selected by the user.

dialog.SelectedPath & "/helloforum.txt"

does helloforum.txt always taking from your application.startupPath ??

[Admin]

yes it does for me :)

if so then you need not to use this Dim dialog = New FolderBrowserDialog() instead of this you could get the file name like textBoxShowOutput.Text = Application.StartupPath & "/helloforum.txt"
