There is a built-in .NET dialog for this, look up OpenFileDialog

Ignore the fact that it has 'open' in the name, it can equally be used to select a location to save files to.

  • You could store the last used folder in the application settings, and set the `InitialDirectory` property before opening the dialog. This would set the initial folder presented to the user. – paul Jan 31 '13 at 14:43
