Hi,
I'm using the OpenFileDialog to let the user pick a file, then I need to get
the file name and file path of the picked file and store it in a database.
My problem comes in when the user picks files from a network folder. Instead
of getting the real file path, i.e. \\servername\sh aredfolder, what I get is
the drive letter of the mapped drive. So, instead of having the true path
like '\\servername\s haredfolder\fil ename.txt', now I get something like
'M:\filename.tx t'.
Is there any way I can get the real file path? If possible, please give me
some sample code.
Thanks in advance for your help.

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,...
