Remebering the last saved directory path in a saveFileDialog
Hi all,
I am implementing a saveFileDialog in C# . First time when I choose a directory to save a file, I want to remember it so that for the second time , I do not have to start from my C: drive and go to the previously saved directory.
There should be a easy way to do, and your help on this is appreciated.

I think you want to find out how to set the dialog programmaticly to a specified path, am I right?
Just before showing the dialog, set the dialog.filename property to your desired directory, like this:
dialog.FileName=@"C:\";
the "@" specifies not to interpret the \ as an escape sequence.

Dont forget Ramesh... save the directory in any way you want and then set the filename or filepath property!

If you want to keep this every time application opens, then better approch is to store the value in registry than in any XML or text file
