OpenFileDialog in WPF

When you click the Browse button, we will browse text files and set the TextBox.Text to the selected file name. <TextBox Height="32" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="6,10,0,0" Name="FileNameTextBox" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="393" /> <Button Content="Browse" Height="32" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="405,10,0,0" Name="button1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="88" Click="button1_Click" /> The code listed in Listing 1 creates an OpenFileDialog, set its default extension and filter properties and calls ShowDialog method that displays the dialog. Once the OpenFileDialog is displayed, you can use it to browse files. Once file is selected, the FileName property of the OpenFileDialog is set to the selected file name. This code sets the selected file name as a TextBox.Text property. // Create OpenFileDialog Microsoft.Win32.OpenFileDialog dlg = new Microsoft.Win32.OpenFileDialog(); // Set filter for file extension and default file extension dlg.DefaultExt = ".txt"; dlg.Filter = "Text documents (.txt)|*.txt"; // Display OpenFileDialog by calling ShowDialog method Nullable<bool> result = dlg.ShowDialog(); // Get the selected file name and display in a TextBox if (result == true) { // Open document

string filename = dlg.FileName; FileNameTextBox.Text = filename; }
