<p>I've got a save dialog box which pops up when i press a button. However i dont want to save a file at that point, i want to take the name and place it in the text box next to the button, for the name to be used later. </p>

<p>Can anybody tell me how to obtain the file path from the save dialog box to use it later?</p>

Here is a sample code I just wrote very fast... instead of Console.Write you can simply store the path in a variable and use it later.
```
```
SaveFileDialog saveFileDialog1 = new SaveFileDialog(); 
saveFileDialog1.InitialDirectory = Convert.ToString(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments); 
saveFileDialog1.Filter = "Your extension here (*.EXT)|*.ext|All Files (*.*)|*.*" ; 
saveFileDialog1.FilterIndex = 1; 

if(saveFileDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK) 
{ 
    Console.WriteLine(saveFileDialog1.FileName);//Do what you want here
}
```
```
