How To: Add a Custom Place to a File Dialog Box
The default open and save dialog boxes on [!INCLUDEwiprlhext] have an area on the left side of the dialog box titled Favorite Links. This area is called custom places. The xref:System.Windows.Forms.OpenFileDialog and xref:System.Windows.Forms.SaveFileDialog classes allow you to add folders to the xref:System.Windows.Forms.FileDialog.CustomPlaces%2A collection.
[!NOTE] In order for a custom place to appear in the xref:System.Windows.Forms.OpenFileDialog or xref:System.Windows.Forms.SaveFileDialog, the xref:System.Windows.Forms.FileDialog.AutoUpgradeEnabled%2A property must be set to
true(the default).
To add a custom place to a file dialog box
-
Add a path, a Known Folder GUID, or a xref:System.Windows.Forms.FileDialogCustomPlace object to the xref:System.Windows.Forms.FileDialog.CustomPlaces%2A collection of the dialog box.
The following code example shows how to add a path:
OpenFileDialog1.CustomPlaces.Add("C:\MyCustomPlace")
openFileDialog1.CustomPlaces.Add("C:\\MyCustomPlace");
