Examples

The following code example uses the GetError method to check for an error before opening a file dialog box. To run this example, paste the following code into a form containing a TextBox named TextBox1, an OpenFileDialog named OpenFileDialog1, a button named Button1, and an ErrorProvider named ErrorProvider1. Ensure all events are associated with their event handlers.

private:
   void TextBox1_Validating( Object^ sender,
      System::ComponentModel::CancelEventArgs^ e )
   {
      // If nothing is entered,
      // an ArgumentException is caught; if an invalid directory is entered, 
      // a DirectoryNotFoundException is caught. An appropriate error message 
      // is displayed in either case.
      try
      {
         System::IO::DirectoryInfo^ directory = gcnew System::IO::DirectoryInfo( TextBox1->Text );
         directory->GetFiles();
         ErrorProvider1->SetError( TextBox1, "" );
      }
      catch ( System::ArgumentException^ ) 
      {
         ErrorProvider1->SetError( TextBox1, "Please enter a directory" );
      }
      catch ( System::IO::DirectoryNotFoundException^ ) 
      {
         ErrorProvider1->SetError( TextBox1, "The directory does not exist."
         "Try again with a different directory." );
      }
   }

   // dialog's InitialDirectory property to the text in TextBox1.
