OpenFileDialog interaction with FileStream

[don]

has anyone experienced problems with interactions between OpenFileDialog and FileStream? When I select "open" from an OpenFileDialog the subsequent calls to FileStream do not create a file. If I do anything else, eg, navigate to other folders, and then press "cancel" the file is created. This occurrs just with the simple code below. Any ideas

private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e

// open the common dialog bo
OpenFileDialog of = new OpenFileDialog()
of.ShowDialog()
of.Dispose()
private void button2_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e

String fn = Environment.CurrentDirectory + "\\test.txt"
FileStream f = new FileStream(fn,FileMode.Create)
f.Close()
}

I suspect you'll find it *does* create a file, but it changes the
current directory to the one selected in the OpenFileDialog, so the
test.txt file gets created in an "odd" place.

Try this program:

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;

public class Test
{
static void Main()
{
Console.WriteLine ("Before OpenFileDialog: {0}",
Environment.CurrentDirectory);
using (OpenFileDialog ofd = new OpenFileDialog())
{
ofd.ShowDialog();
}
Console.WriteLine ("After OpenFileDialog: {0}",
Environment.CurrentDirectory);
}
}

and see what it gives you...
