    can't seem to set var

    Hello!

    I am really new to this and was wondering if somebody could have a look at this. What I'm trying to do is get the selected folder value put into my dirlocation var.

    Code:
           private void dirLocation_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
            {
      
                FolderBrowserDialog fdb = new FolderBrowserDialog();
                fdb.Description ="Please choose the directory your .rlt files are located in";
                if (fdb.ShowDialog() == System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK)
                {
                    dirLocation = fdb.SelectedPath;
                }
    Is this how you do it? I keep getting an error like Cannot implicitly convert type 'type' to 'type'

    Thanks in advance guys

    Cheers!
    Stephen

    You chose the wrong forum for your question.
    In this forum the problem of (native) Visual C++ are discussed.
    As for Windows.Forms look at some .NET forums or at Managed C++/CLI one.

    Not quite necessarily here. To me the posted code pretty much looks like (perfectly valid!) C#, while the quoted error message actually does sound like being from a C++[/CLI] compiler. Perhaps the OP first should clarify in which language he actually wants to write/compile his code.
    I was thrown out of college for cheating on the metaphysics exam; I looked into the soul of the boy sitting next to me.

    This is a snakeskin jacket! And for me it's a symbol of my individuality, and my belief... in personal freedom.

    I'm confused...
    Doesn't C# forum belong to .NET?

    Oops! My eyes somehow simply slipped over the ".NET forums" part since it wasn't bolded. So, of course your post was perfectly complete!
