Do you mean

OpenFileDialog openFileDialog1 = new OpenFileDialog();

if (openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
    string p = openFileDialog1.FileName;
}

No. He wants to find the path of the selected file (you showed him how to get the selected file, which he already appears to know how to do).
