Save multiple files within a folder

[Janice Hui]

I want to create a save function which allows the user to save all files within a folder.
User needs to provide a folder name.
Could anyone give me an idea how to do it?

Use the SaveFileDialog in the toolbox.

Hi tlhintoq,

Thank for you reply.

However, what i needed is the system will prompt a browser folder window that allows the user to enter the folder name. Then, the system will automatically save two files within created folder. I am using wpf and C#, currently i found the way to do it by using the BrowserFolderDialog but only supported when using the forms. Is there another ways for me to do it?

Thank.

I've never created a WPF application until just now... but it sure seems like it let me make a FolderBrowserDialog.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;
using System.Windows.Data;
using System.Windows.Documents;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Windows.Input;
using System.Windows.Media;
using System.Windows.Media.Imaging;
using System.Windows.Navigation;
using System.Windows.Shapes;
using MessageBox=System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox;
 
namespace WpfApplication1
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Interaction logic for Window1.xaml
    /// </summary>
    public partial class Window1 : Window
    {
        public Window1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            System.Windows.Forms.FolderBrowserDialog bob = new FolderBrowserDialog();
            bob.ShowDialog();
            string BobsPath = bob.SelectedPath;
            MessageBox.Show(BobsPath, "User Selected");
        }
    }
}

Hi tlhintoq,

Thank a lot for your guide.

Based on your explanation, i already get what i need.
And, in order for me to save the file to the particular folder, i add the following code.

using (XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(bob.SelectedPath + @"\\abc.xml"))

=)

If you are using the @ in front of your string, you shouldn't need to use a double \\

In fact that should be making your path

C:\returnedfolder\\abc.xml

instead of
C:\returnedfolder\abc.xml

Where you have an extra (blank) level of folder hiarchy

I got it.
Thank you! =)
