[RESOLVED] Get path from openFileDialog

[alderaan]

I´m writing a windows form application.

Consider this code:

if(openFileDialog1->ShowDialog() == System::Windows::Forms:ialogResult::OK)

{

System::IO::Path::GetDirectoryName(openFileDialog1->FileName);
MessageBox::Show(openFileDialog1->FileName, "Directory");

}

How can i store/write the result presenting in MessageBox to a file called "c:\path.txt",
instead of presenting the result in the MessageBox?

I would be eternally grateful for your help!

Assign the result to a string var rather than showing in a message box.
Create and open a file object.
Write the contents of the string var to the file.
Close the file object.

How do i do that?

This is what i was trying to do:
What is wrong with my code?

if(openFileDialog1->ShowDialog() == System::Windows::Forms:ialogResult::OK)
{

String^ path = System::IO::Path::GetDirectoryName(openFileDialog1->FileName);

fstream File;

File.open("c:\\path.txt", ios:ut);

if (File.is_open ())
{
for (int i = 0; i <= 50; i++)
File<< path[i] << endl;
}

File.close();

}


I get the error:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.IndexOutOfRangeException' occurred in myapp.exe
Additional information: Index out of limits for the matrix

Very well.
Problem is solved.

I just have do do this:

System::IO::File::WriteAllText("c:\\path.txt", openFileDialog1->FileName);

for (int i = 0; i <= 50; i++)
File<< path[i] << endl;

Your path var is a string yet you are trying to write an array of 50 elements in your loop which of course results in index out of range.
