c# - Can I launch DotNet's OpenFileDialog in C:\Users\Public\Documents? -

-

is there way launch openfiledialog in c:\users\public\documents folder?

i writing c# application, using dotnet framework. trying launch openfiledialog, initialdirectory of "c:\\users\\public\\documents\\" , filename of "world.txt". unfortunately, openfiledialog putting me in documents shortcut instead of c:\users\public\documents .

expected results
expect see openfiledialog open, top textbox showing > pc > windows7_os (c:) > users > public > documents , bottom textbox showing world.txt . expect if click in top textbox, show c:\users\public\documents .

actual results
openfiledialog opens. top textbox shows > pc > documents , bottom textbox shows world.txt . if click in top textbox, shows documents . displayed folder contents not same contents of c:\users\public\documents .

things have tried
have stopped code in visual studio debugger after following line of code:
openfiledialog dlg = new openfiledialog();

in immediate window, have executed code such following: 

dlg.filename = "world.txt"   ? dlg.filename   dlg.initialdirectory = "c:\\nonexistentdirectory\\";   dlg.showdialog();   dlg.initialdirectory = "c:\\";   dlg.showdialog();   dlg.initialdirectory = "c:\\users\\";   dlg.showdialog();  dlg.initialdirectory = "c:\\users\\public\\";   dlg.showdialog();  dlg.initialdirectory = "c:\\users\\public\\documents\\";   dlg.showdialog();

i cancel out of each dialog.

i used c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe cd between c:\ , c:\users\ , c:\users\public , c:\users\public\documents\ .

results of things have tried

  • when dlg.initialdirectory = "c:\\nonexistentdirectory\\" , dialog's folder displays this pc > documents > visual studio 2015 > projects > simplegame > controller > bin > debug" . clicking in textbox causes display c:\users\owner\documents\visual studio 2015\projects\simplegame\controller\bin\debug . therefore assume openfiledialog silently handles invalid initialdirectory not changing directories. in case, defaulting project's assembly's bin's debug folder.

  • when dlg.initialdirectory "c:\\" or "c:\\users\\" or "c:\\users\\public\\" dialog behaves expected. clicking in top textbox produces c:\ or c:\users or c:\users\public respectively.

  • when dlg.initialdirectory = "c:\\users\\public\\documents\\" dialog behaves incorrectly. top textbox shows > pc > documents , bottom textbox shows world.txt . if click in top textbox, shows documents . displayed folder contents not same contents of c:\users\public\documents .

  • using cmd.exe lets me cd between folders expected, including c:\users\public\documents .

my environment
running microsoft visual studio community 2015 version 14.0.23107.0 d14rel, using microsoft visual c# 2015. operating system windows 10 pro.

if using system.windows.forms.openfiledialog can set: 

dialog.autoupgradeenabled = false;

the dialog little dated/flat/"old school" @ least display correct contents!

arrays - Algorithm to find ideal starting spot in a circle -

-
so problem have been debating such: your given array of integers representing circle. then, have pick spot in circle start. place start, compare value @ array number of steps took there , if steps less or equal number, include in final set. find place start have elements in set. ex, a=[0, 1, 2] if start @ index=0, then: a[0]=0 < =0 0 included a[1]=1 < =1 1 included a[2]=2 < =2 2 included final set: {0,1,2} if start @ index=1, then: a[1]=1 > 0 1 not included a[2]=2 > 1 2 not included here loop around a[0]=0 > 2 0 included final set: {0} if start @ index=2, then: a[2]=2 > 0 2 not included, here loop around a[0]=0 < = 1 0 included a[1]=1 < = 2 1 included final set: {0,1} so in trivial case, starting position index=0 best position results in final set elements. brute force method of finding obvious, trying find more efficient method. attempts far have been examine trying find max intersect of viable starting ranges calculated each element in arr...
