OpenFileDialog

[Ithaqua]

I am having problems giving my dialog box the initial directory at runtime.
I can get it working if I code it at design time, does any one know why this
code wont allow me to get the initial directory from a Class at runtim.

with openfiledialog1

.InitialdDirect ory = MyClass.GetDire ctory

.ShowDialog()

end with

Error message? What's the exact problem?

When I use the following code to get a folder location from my Class it
allways opens the dialog box at My Documents.

MyClass
{
Folder_location = "C:\"
}

with openfiledialog1

.InitialdDirect ory = MyClass.GetDire ctory

.ShowDialog()

end with

How ever if I hard code it like this it opens in the specified directory

with openfiledialog1

.InitialdDirect ory = "C:\"

.ShowDialog()

end with

Where is 'GetDirectory' defined?

Ithaqua,

Forgive me that I had so smile, that it is in MyClass (although not litary I
hope because that is a keyword), does Herfried for sure know.

I think that he did more wanted to know where the information came from that
is in MyClass. (And if you checked that the information was really correct.)

First, 'MyClass' is a reserved keyword in VB.NET, second there might be a
bug in the implementation of the method.

Can you post the code for your GetDirectory method here.... I'm guessing
the problem may be there.

Sorry MyClass is not actually the class name, it was just one I made up.
