Re: Open Dialog Intial Directory?

Or make the OpenFileDialog in question a static variable of the class.
That's what I do.

Subject: [DOTNET-WINFORMS] Open Dialog Intial Directory?

Hello,

        I'm sure this is easy, but I am having a brain fart or
something. I have from which contains a OpenFileDialog box. I would like
to figure out a way to save the last folder opened and save it somewhere
so that the next time I open the FileDialog box I can set the
InitialDirectory to that folder. This state does not have to span past
the current use of the app. In other words open app, select thisform
from main_menu. Open File Dialog, do something close thisform. Do
something else in app, open thisform, Open File Dialog set
intialDirectory to last used. The problem is by closing the thisform all
the var in the form are lost and reinitialize to default. So not sure
where to keep the information of lastFolderUsed.

Thanks
