c# get Image directory path after selecting image on open file dialog

Question

is there a way to get the image directory path after selecting in file dialog

example C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\IMG\pix200.jpg

i have a code that will open file dialog then after selecting Image and displaying Image in PictureBox i need to get the image location or path directory as i said earlier

private void student_Edit_PictureBox_Front_DoubleClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        OpenFileDialog openFD = new OpenFileDialog();
        openFD.Filter = "Bitmaps|*.bmp|jpeg|*.jpg";

        if (openFD.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
        {
            student_Picture_Edit.Image = Bitmap.FromFile(openFD.FileName);
            student_Edit_PictureBox_Front.Image = Bitmap.FromFile(openFD.FileName);

            //I want to get the directory path Picturebox.Imagelocation is not working for me
        }
    }

is there a solution for this?

The PictureBox will not know which path the image came from; so you need to store it when loading. — TaW

Try to make use of the Path.GetDirectoryName method. Example:

string path = Path.GetDirectoryName(openFD.FileName);
