That's done using the [OpenFileDialog](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.openfiledialog.aspx)[[^](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.openfiledialog.aspx "New Window")] class. Call it's ShowDialog method to show it, and retrieve the path of the file that the user selected using it's [FileName](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.filedialog.filename.aspx)[[^](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.filedialog.filename.aspx "New Window")] property.

You can use each directory. If you need to fetch the directory of a folder, consider using the [GetFolderPath](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.environment.getfolderpath.aspx)[[^](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.environment.getfolderpath.aspx "New Window")] method :)

It would copy the data there, provided that it's accessible (you have the appropriate rights, not locked by another process etc.) Hope this helps :)
