The saveFileDialog returns a handle to the file being saved.

Here is an example of some code we use to save some app files in xml format.
We only pull up and use xml to filter out any other files in the directory.

private void saveTPButton_Li nkClicked(objec t sender,
LinkLabelLinkCl ickedEventArgs e)
{
SaveFileDialog savDialog = new SaveFileDialog( );
savDialog.Filte r = "Test Point Files(*.xml)\"| *.xml";
savDialog.AddEx tension = true;
DialogResult result;
result =savDialog.Show Dialog();
string savFile = savDialog.FileN ame;

if (result == DialogResult.OK )
{
FlightDataManag er.FlightDataMa nagerClass.test PointPanelDataS et.Write
Xml(savFile);
}
}

The user can navigate to any directory before they click Save, or you could
assign a directory in the savFile variable before doing the actual save.

Curious SaveFileDialog gotcha

by: Michael A. Covington | last post by:

I've just determined, by experimenting, that regardless of its Filter and DefaultExt properties, a SaveFileDialog will let you save the file with *any* registered extension. For instance, if you specify a SaveFileDialog with the attributes: AddExtension = true Filter = "Foo files|*.foo" DefaultExt = "foo"

Problem with SaveFileDialog

I have enocuntered something wierd.

Hi Everyone! I am using the SaveFileDialog class. I want the user to specify the "SaveAs" filename so I can use that name when creating a text document. Here is my question below.

SaveFileDialog event

by: Dennis C. Drumm | last post by:

Is there a way for the parent that calls the SaveFileDialog.ShowDialog to consume events associated with this dialog such as LocationChanged, Moved and Closed events? I had been working on a way to customize the SaveFileDialog and on second thought think it might be better to attach a FixedToolWindow dialog to the bottom that contains the two text box controls I need for user input. Thanks,

SaveFileDialog locks the file?

I searched using Google, on the web and in the newsgroups, and found nothing on this topic. Hopefully that means I just don't understand what I'm supposed to be doing here. :) The problem: I am trying to use the SaveFileDialog class to get a filename, which is subsequently opened for writing (write access, read sharing, but using read/write sharing doesn't make the problem go away anyway). Sometimes, on the statement where I...

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
