VC++ .NET saveFileDialog

[Freddie Code]

I want to get a file name back from the saveFileDialog box and store it as a global variable. What Type should I declare this varialbe as? Seems like the return type for the saveFileDialog file name is String and the compliler is not liking this Type.. Anyone have a simple VC++ .NET example on how to get the user selected file name back from the saveFileDialog box and stored in a variable? Thanks.

Here's what I have used: CString strFile; CFileDialog fSave(_parameters_); if ( fSave.DoModal() == IDOK ) { strFile = fSave.GetFileName(); }

For whatever reason, my .NET compiler is not liking the declaration of a variable as CString Type. I wonder if there needs to be included another .h file to be able to use String type? Compiler does not like this: CString myFileName;

I figured out what I was doing wrong. I did not realize that the return type of the file name is a pointer, so it needs to be declated like this. String *myFileName; :laugh::laugh::laugh:
