If you want the answer emailed to you, you can tick the box below your question.

The problem you have is that you’re not saving the filename.

I would also have the timer initially disabled, to prevent it trying to open a file if the user cancels the dialog box. Also, don’t forget to disable the timer in its tick event handler, otherwise the file will be opened multiple times.

string Chosen_File = null;

if (openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
    Chosen_File =  MyDialog.FileName;
    timer1.Enabled = true;
}
