Question

What is the best way to allow a user to view a file in C #?

Answer 1

using (OpenFileDialog dlg = new OpenFileDialog()) { dlg.Title = "Select a file"; if (dlg.ShowDialog()== DialogResult.OK) { //do something with dlg.FileName } } 

Answer 2

I would say using the standard OpenFileDialog dialog box, this makes it less intimidating for new users and helps with a consistent interface.

Answer 3

Close, Ryan, but you never showed a dialogue. it should be:

 if (dlg.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
