Setting a default path in to save files using save file dialog

Question

Hey There, 

I am trying this since the past week, but no results seem to be found. I am trying to set a default path to the savefiledialog in VB.Net. So whenever the user enters text in the Multiline textbox, and clicks on save, the documents gets saved as a text file to some predefined location (The user cannot select his/her desired path).

Regards,

Hitesh

Answer 1

Hitesh,

Probably I don't understand your question, but the default path is the initialdirectory

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.win32.filedialog.initialdirectory.aspx

The default file type you can set using the filter property,

If you don't want the user to select the path then don't use a SaveFileDialog, just hard code the path (or preferably create a setting for it)
