Saving a file to project folder and save its path

Anonymous User 2413 28 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
