I have found an strange behavior when use the open file dialog in c#.
If use this code in Windows XP the current working directory changes to the path of the selected file, however if you run this code in windows 7 the current working directory does not change.
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show(string.Format("Current Directory {0}",Directory.GetCurrentDirectory()), "My Application",MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Asterisk);
DialogResult result = openFileDialog1.ShowDialog(); // Show the dialog and get result.
if (result == DialogResult.OK)
{
}
MessageBox.Show(string.Format("Current Directory {0}", Directory.GetCurrentDirectory()), "My Application", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Asterisk);
}
Anybody know the reason for this behavior? Why the current directoiry changes in XP and not in windows 7?
