Pass File Path into Message Box

Question

Hello,
I’m building an application that is being used to create a report for whatever date range the user chooses. After the data is exported into Excel I have a message box pop up telling the user where the file has been saved to. However, as it is now, I have
the file path hard coded. What I want to do is have the file path chosen by the user passed into the message box and display a message with the selected path. Any help with this will be greatly appreciated.

Assuming I have located the part of your code you are talking about, I think you just need to replace the hard code path in the message with the path from the SaveFileDialog. You should only display the message if the use clicked OK.
if (saveFD.ShowDialog() == System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK)
Stream stream = saveFD.OpenFile();
wb.SaveAs(stream);
stream.Close();
MessageBox.Show("File has been exported to " + saveFD.FileName, "File Exported", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);
