C# Access Denied

I'm trying to write something in C#, and the filestream is supposed to access a certain folder. The code is...
Code: Select all
FileStream stream = new FileStream("C:\\Documents and Settings\\***** *****\\Desktop\\Test Folder", FileMode.Open);
But everytime I try, I get the same error...
However, I can open another file with a different application, though it's in the same folder as the one that won't allow my program access.
Any solutions?

You can't write to a folder let alone open it in a FileStream so thats probably why it's giving an error.

Ok, I figured it out, thanks.
But, I only know how to set it to a specific file.
How would I go about setting it to any file?
For instance...
Code: Select all
FileStream stream = new FileStream("C:\\Documents and Settings\\***** *****\\Desktop\\Test Folder\\hello.doc", FileMode.Open);
You see that the filestream goes to hello.doc.
Now, what if I want it to go to whatever file that I've opened that's within that folder?

Code: Select all
OpenFileDialog OFD = new OpenFileDialog();
if (OFD.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.Ok)
{
FileStream FS = new FileStream(OFD.FileName, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.ReadWrite, FileShare.ReadWrite);
}
