Save file with openFileDialog

Question

I need to select PDF files with the openFileDialog and save them in a specific directory set in a string in Properties.Settings, but the code below does not work.

private void btAnexarArquivo_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        // Displays an OpenFileDialog so the user can select a Cursor.  
        OpenFileDialog openFileDialog1 = new OpenFileDialog();
        openFileDialog1.Filter = "Arquivo PDF|*.pdf";
        openFileDialog1.Title = "Selecione o arquivo PDF";

        // Show the Dialog.  
        // If the user clicked OK in the dialog and  
        // a .CUR file was selected, open it.  
        if (openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() == System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK)
        {
            string diretorio = openFileDialog1.InitialDirectory;
            string destino = Properties.Settings.Default.Pasta + ticket + ".pdf";
            FileInfo oFile = new FileInfo(destino);
            if (oFile.Exists)
            {
                oFile.Delete();
            }

            // To move a file or folder to a new location:
            System.IO.File.Copy(diretorio, destino);
        }  
    }

Displays the following error:

What do I do to fix?

Answer 1

Try it this way:

using System.IO;

private void btAnexarArquivo_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    OpenFileDialog openFileDialog1 = new OpenFileDialog()
    {
        Filter = "Arquivo PDF|*.pdf",
        Title = "Selecione o arquivo PDF"
    };

    if (openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
    {
        string destino = Path.Combine(Properties.Settings.Default.Pasta, ticket + ".pdf");

        if (File.Exists(destino))
            File.Delete(destino);

        File.Copy(openFileDialog1.FileName, destino);
    }
}

I optimised your code a little bit :)

The problem was on the property InitialDirectory, that should be FileName.

Answer 2

The class OpenFileDialog owns a property called FileName, it contains the complete directory + the name of the selected file.

Change your code to use FileName instead of InitialDirectory, in the variable declaration diretorio:

string diretorio = openFileDialog1.FileName;
