folderbrowserdialog selectedpath returns no value

Question

private void button3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    FolderBrowserDialog folderfinder = new FolderBrowserDialog();
    folderfinder.Description = "Select Folder";
    folderfinder.RootFolder = Environment.SpecialFolder.MyComputer;
    folderfinder.ShowNewFolderButton = false;

    Console.Write(folderfinder.SelectedPath);
}

The following code always returns "" for selectedpath. Anyone see what is wrong here? I have googled around and no one mentions having a problem with selectedpath returning no value.

Answer 1

You should show dialog (msdn):

if (folderfinder.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
    Console.Write(folderfinder.SelectedPath);
}
