Hi Dojo,

I am currently working on a download function in IAS.

I am trying to use FolderBrowserDialog from Systems.Windows.Forms to launch a window dialog for users to select the directory path the file should be saved in.

However, I am currently facing this error.

Script Failure (Playout Excel Script): EXIT: “Run|Something went wrong: System.InvalidOperationException: Showing a modal dialog box or form when the application is not running in UserInteractive mode is not a valid operation. Specify the ServiceNotification or DefaultDesktopOnly style to display a notification from a service application.
at System.Windows.Forms.CommonDialog.ShowDialog(IWin32Window owner)
at System.Windows.Forms.CommonDialog.ShowDialog()
at Playout_Excel_Script_1.Script.RunSafe(IEngine engine)
at Playout_Excel_Script_1.Script.Run(IEngine engine)” (see comment for more details)

This is the code that is used:

using (FolderBrowserDialog folderBrowserDialog = new FolderBrowserDialog())
{
folderBrowserDialog.Description = “Select a folder to save the file”;
folderBrowserDialog.SelectedPath = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments);
if (folderBrowserDialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
// Get the selected path
string selectedFolderPath = folderBrowserDialog.SelectedPath;
engine.GenerateInformation(selectedFolderPath);
}
}

Could anyone assist me on this error message? or is there a better way to allow users to select directory path?

Thanks
