openfile dialog

[tomos2]

i have an open file dialog in which i always want to open the first file. is there anyway to select the first file every time without having to manually select it. does anyone know how to this??

thanks in advance guys!!

The point of an OpenFileDialog is to allow the user to browse for a file to open, if you want the user to just select a folder then you could use the FolderBrowser instead.

ah nice one, that's a start, at least i can target better now thanks.

my application loads a series of .txt files and distributes the data into various files. how do i tell it to look at, say, 'file x', and once it's done with 'file x', move on to 'file y' until there are no more files of that type/extension?

cheers, Tom :

System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(...) will return all the files in a given directory that match a wildcard.
