Save Directory Dialog?

I would like to modify SaveFileDialog to instead save a new directory (which will contain new files automatically generated for the user based on the name of the directory). I can produce the necessary code to carry out the intended functionality, but I want the dialog to prompt for a 'folder name' instead of 'file name' and to not display 'save as type'. Is this possible? Is there a better solution for a create new folder/directory dialog? I know about folderbrowsedialog, but I need to force the user to name a new directory and identify the location. Thanks.

You'll most likely need to use a FolderBrowserDialog to manipulate folders.

Thanks for the reply. Figured out a solution. Just thought I would share for anyone else who faces a similar issue.

Basically, my app requires that users create new projects that will include several access database files. The database files are generated for the user after the 'new project' directory is created. My solution was to use the folderbrowserdialog to first prompt the user for a location and next the the user is presented with a simple where in which they must name the project. A new directory with the name of the project is then created and the database files are added. In summary, I just created my own to force the user to name and create a new directory.

So... you're saying you used a FolderBroswerDialog for the folders instead of a SaveFileDialog for folders?

Gotcha

I'll rate you just for sarcasm :).

Yeah. Putting down newbs and not discussing legitimate questions is cool...

How are you even coming to this conclusion? Going for way off base are we?

I am referring to rating for sarcasm. I did not really pick up anything nasty from Grimfort.
