FileDialogBase.FileName Property

Gets or sets the selected file name, or an empty string if no file was selected. This property is identical to the standard FileDialog.FileName property.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraEditors

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraDialogs.v24.2.dll

NuGet Packages: DevExpress.Win.Dialogs, DevExpress.Win.Navigation

#Declaration

[DefaultValue("")]
[DXCategory("Data")]
public string FileName { get; set; }

#Property Value

Type Default Description
String String.Empty

The selected file name.

#Remarks

In XtraSaveFileDialog, the FileName property specifies the name under which the file is saved. In XtraOpenFileDialog, the FileName can be one of two things:

  • if the dialog’s MultiSelect property equals false, the FileName is the name of the opened file;
  • if the dialog’s MultiSelect property equals true, the FileName is the name of first selected file. For a complete list of opened files’ names, use the FileNames property instead.

The following code snippet (auto-collected from DevExpress Examples) contains a reference to the FileName property.

The algorithm used to collect these code examples remains a work in progress. Accordingly, the links and snippets below may produce inaccurate results. If you encounter an issue with code examples below, please use the feedback form on this page to report the issue.
