Hi. How do i get the selected path with a savefiledialog without the filename?

[LeisureProgrammer]

Try something like this:

  SaveFileDialog1.ShowDialog()
		Dim blah As String = SaveFileDialog1.FileName
		Dim meh As Integer = blah.LastIndexOf("\")
		Dim lala As String = blah.Substring(0, meh)
		dim yourPath as string = lala

hm. i got error on

 Dim lala As String = blah.Substring(0, meh)

saying something like "length cant be 0" not sure how to translate it becuse mine is in swedish.

Are you picking a file from the file dialog?

no. i´m using the savefiledialog to select path and file name for my filedownloader in my browser. so i´m selecting a path and entering a filename ( like "test.txt" )

[LeisureProgrammer]

That should work too - just make sure the variable is populated with a path-like thing - right after showing the savefiledialog, do this:

msgbox(savefiledialog1.filename)

Does the full path appear?

This should do it.

System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(SaveFileDialogBox.FileName)

[LeisureProgrammer]

Deathx, that's the exact opposite of what he wants

EDIT: Deathx's code is waayy more efficient, use his
