Vb.net - FolderBrowserDialog


I am having some troubles with FolderBrowserDialog I've tried all the post I could find here and I'm almost there in terms of what I want. following is my code:

Private Sub ButtonBrowseOutput_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles ButtonBrowseOutput.Click
    Dim dialog = New FolderBrowserDialog()
    dialog.SelectedPath = Application.StartupPath
    If DialogResult.OK = dialog.ShowDialog() Then
        TextBoxShowOutput.Text = dialog.ToString & "/helloforum" & ".txt"
    End If
End Sub

would give me something like this:

System.Windows.Forms.FolderBrowserDialog/helloforum.txt

Where I want it to give it for example:

c:/users/sexyname/desktop/helloforum.txt

Solution

  • TextBoxShowOutput.Text = dialog.ToString & "/helloforum" & ".txt"
    

    Must be:

    TextBoxShowOutput.Text = dialog.SelectedPath & "/helloforum" & ".txt"
