How to open save file dialog when i click on ok of a Message Box

Question

I would like to prompt the user for a save file dialog when he clicks on Ok of a message box displayed. How can i do this...

Answer 1

You could google this. If you have problem with click event. I guess you are using visual studio just double click the button on the design surface and write your code inside the handler that you go.

MessageBox.Show() returns DialogResult

  DialogResult result1 = MessageBox.Show("Is Dot Net Perls awesome?",
            "Important Question",
            MessageBoxButtons.OK);

  if (result1 == DialogResult.OK)
  { //Show SaveFileDialog }

Answer 2

In the event handler of the button, use the following code.

DialogResult messageResult = MessageBox.Show("Save this file?", "Save", MessageBoxButtons.OKCancel);
if (messageResult == DialogResult.OK)
{
    using (var dialog = new System.Windows.Forms.SaveFileDialog())
    {
        dialog.DefaultExt = "*.txt";
        dialog.Filter = "Text files (*.txt)|*.txt|All files (*.*)|*.*";
        DialogResult result = dialog.ShowDialog();
        if (result == DialogResult.OK)
        {
            string filename = dialog.FileName;
            // Save here
        }
    }
}

Edit: If you want to get a FileStream directly you can use SaveFileDialog.OpenFile(). This requires less permissions if you run your application in partial trust.

I got the answer this was what i am asking for

          MessageBox.Show("Save The Current File");
            if (Convert.ToBoolean( DialogResult.OK ))
            {
                SaveFileDialog saveFileDialog1 = new SaveFileDialog();

                saveFileDialog1.InitialDirectory = @"C:\";


                saveFileDialog1.RestoreDirectory = true;



                if (saveFileDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
                {

                    string s= saveFileDialog1.FileName;

                } 
       }
