Saving a file to project folder and save its path

Anonymous User207528-Sep-2013

I am using visual studio 2010 (c#).

I would like to select a zip or rar file from my computer, save it to project folder and store its path to a variable.

I tried openfiledialog() but I couldn't solve it this way.

How can I do that?

Hey Ida!

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        { 
             var openFileDialog=new OpenFileDialog {Filter = @"Zip Files|*.zip|RAR Files|*.rar|All Files|*.*"}; 
            if (DialogResult.OK == openFileDialog.ShowDialog()) 
            { 
                File.Copy(openFileDialog.FileName, Application.StartupPath + @"\" 
                    + Path.GetFileName(openFileDialog.FileName)); 
                yourvariable = Application.StartupPath + @"\" 
                               + Path.GetFileName(openFileDialog.FileName); 
            } 
        }


your file will be copied to yourprojectname\yourprojectname\bin\Debug
