I have a form that requires the user to select photos to be included in their portfolio before they can proceed to use the app for the first time.
I don't want to spend the rest of my life implementing a custom file browser, so I've decided to just use the FolderBrowserDialog to allow them to select a folder containing photos. I've also decided to let them browse as many times as they need in case they have photos scattered in other locations.
I can't think of a better way to write this, but it seems like there would be a better way. I'd appreciate any thoughts/suggestions on how to improve this piece or advice on a better way to write it:
private void Main_Shown(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
/* Let them select photos to be included in the portfolio
* and move them to the permanent Photo Collection folder,
* and display them on the form.
*/
bool selectingPhotos = true;
while (selectingPhotos) {
using (FolderBrowserDialog folderPicker = new FolderBrowserDialog())
{
folderPicker.Description = "Please browse to, and select the folder containing the files you'd like to add.";
if (folderPicker.ShowDialog(this) == System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK)
{
// Add files to list for processing later.
// Ask if they want to add more files from another directory.
if (MessageBox.Show("Do you want to select more photos from another location?", "Confirmation", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo) == System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.Yes)
{
selectingPhotos = true;
}
else
{
selectingPhotos = false;
}
}
else
{
selectingPhotos = false;
}
}
}
}
