Get OpenFileDialog filename path...

[SpreadTooThin]

After I select a file with the OpenFileDialog, I get the file name
with .FileName,
but I want to know the drive and path where that file is.
What function, method, class can I use in C# to get the drive and
path?

You can use the Path.GetDirecto ryName to get the path(directory)
and you can use Path.VolumeSepa ratorChar to split the filename and use
the first part. There could be better way of doing this.

fdlg.FilterInde x = 2;
fdlg.RestoreDir ectory = true;
if (fdlg.ShowDialo g() == DialogResult.OK )
{
string dirName =
System.IO.Path. GetDirectoryNam e(fdlg.FileName );
string drive =
dirName.Split(S ystem.IO.Path.V olumeSeparatorC har)[0];
MessageBox.Show (dirName);
MessageBox.Show (drive);
}

Hopefully this should help...
