Get folder name ONLY from open file dialog /browse

Question

Hi I want to get folder / directory path in which I browse to (perhaps using OpenFileDialog()) i.e. for example I want to save the default folder name in which End Users can save their Reports. Thanks - Chagbert.

using (OpenFileDialog Dialog = new OpenFileDialog { Filter = All Files|*.* Title = OpenFile Dialog RestoreDirectory = true }) { if (Dialog.ShowDialog() == System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK) { string Path = Dialog.FileName; string FolderName = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(Path); System.IO.DirectoryInfo info = new System.IO.DirectoryInfo(FolderName); MessageBox.Show(info.Name); } } Why not FolderBrowserDialog Control?
