    Re: display file path into a textbox from file open dialog

    How do you normally display text in a TextBox? If you don't know then the MSDN documentation can tell you. How do you get the selected file path from an OpenFileDialog? If you don't know then the MSDN documentation can tell you. You then just put the two together in a single line of code. You can access the MSDN documentation via the Help menu in the IDE and it should always be the first place you look for help. You already know exactly which classes to look up and I know that this problem requires only the use of one member of each, so the answer is easy to find.
