OpenFileDialog default path

Question

using (var openFileDialog1 = new OpenFileDialog())
        {
            openFileDialog1.Reset();
            if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(ExcelFilePath))
            {         


        

Answer 1

It seems like all you need to do is the following:

string path; // this is the path that you are checking.
if(Directory.Exists(path)) {
    openFileDialog1.InitialDirectory = path;
} else {
    openFileDialog1.InitialDirectory = @"C:\";
} 

That is unless I'm missing something.

Answer 2

I don't think there is anything built in for that. Just check before you open the dialog:

if (!Directory.Exists(initialDirectory))
{
    openFileDialog1.InitialDirectory = @"C:\";
}
