Call ShowDialog method to show the dialog

<source lang="csharp">

using System; using System.Windows.Forms; class MainClass {

   static void Main(string[] args) {
       SaveFileDialog dlg = new SaveFileDialog();
       if (dlg.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK) {
           Console.WriteLine(dlg.FileName);
       }
   }

}

</source>

Set CheckFileExists to true

<source lang="csharp"> using System; using System.Windows.Forms; class MainClass {

   static void Main(string[] args) {
       SaveFileDialog dlg = new SaveFileDialog();
       dlg.CheckFileExists = true;
       if (dlg.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK) {
           Console.WriteLine(dlg.FileName);
       }
   }

}

</source>

Set InitialDirectory for SaveFileDialog

<source lang="csharp">

using System; using System.Windows.Forms; class MainClass {

   static void Main(string[] args) {
       SaveFileDialog dlg = new SaveFileDialog();
       dlg.InitialDirectory = Application.StartupPath;
       if (dlg.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK) {
           Console.WriteLine(dlg.FileName);
       }
   }

}

Use Filter in SaveFileDialog to filter file extension

<source lang="csharp"> using System; using System.Windows.Forms; class MainClass {

   static void Main(string[] args) {
       SaveFileDialog dlg = new SaveFileDialog();
       dlg.Filter = "RichText Files (*.rtf)|*.RTF|Text Files (*.txt)|*.TXT" +
         "|All files (*.*)|*.*";
       if (dlg.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK) {
           Console.WriteLine(dlg.FileName);
       }
   }

}
