After I select a file with the OpenFileDialog, I get the file name
with .FileName,
but I want to know the drive and path where that file is.
What function, method, class can I use in C# to get the drive and
path?
You can use the Path.GetDirectoryName to get the path(directory)
and you can use Path.VolumeSeparatorChar to split the filename and use
the first part. There could be better way of doing this.
Path.GetDirectoryName?
I don't know where Path is what class is that?

OpenFileDialog fdlg = new OpenFileDialog();
fdlg.Title = "C# Help";
fdlg.InitialDirectory = @"c:\";
fdlg.Filter = "All files (*.*)|*.*|All files (*..*)|*.*";
fdlg.FilterIndex = 2;
fdlg.RestoreDirectory = true;
if (fdlg.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
string dirName =
System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(fdlg.FileName);
string drive =
dirName.Split(System.IO.Path.VolumeSeparatorChar)[0];
MessageBox.Show(dirName);
MessageBox.Show(drive);
}
Hopefully this should help...

Thats great thanks!
Remindes me of borland fnsplit, which gave you drive, path filename
and extension.
