[C#] - Events for a OpenFileDialog

[AaronMT]

Hello,

I have a simple form that has an OpenFileDialog() . I'm looking to perform an event when the user clicks Open, after selecting a file.

I took a peek at OpenFileDialog.FileOK, does this handle 'Open' ?

Specifically, I am loading data from a file, I need a graphical component to draw afterwards based upon the data it pulls from the selected file in the OpenFileDialog

If not, which event will will I be looking at?

[ReDwAvE]

OpenFileDialog dialog = new OpenFileDialog();
DialogResult result = dialog.ShowDialog();
if (result == DialogResult.OK)
{
    string fileName = dialog.FileName;
     // bla bla bla
}

hope that helped

OpenFileDialog is modal, so it suspends the window that opens it until a selection is made or it's canceled. I don't think I've ever used the events for the dialog. ReDwAvE's sample code should do what you need. :)
