Question

I am working on a WinForm Application using c#. I am using a button to browse for an image file (.jpeg or .bmp). When the user browses the file and clicks ok, on the click of another “Proceed or Update” button, I want that the browsed file should be renamed and saved to a predefined directory where all image files will be saved by default, without much user interaction!

How can I achieve this? I have used openFileDialog for browsing the file, but dont know what else to do.

Answer 1

//detination filename
string newFileName = @"C:\NewImages\NewFileName.jpg";    

// if the user presses OK instead of Cancel
if (openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK) 
{
    //get the selected filename
    string filename = openFileDialog1.FileName; 

    //copy the file to the new filename location and overwrite if it already exists 
    //(set last parameter to false if you don't want to overwrite)
    System.IO.File.Copy(filename, newFileName, true);
}
