In XtraSaveFileDialog, the FileName property specifies the name under which the file is saved. In XtraOpenFileDialog, the FileName can be one of two things:
MultiSelect property equals false , the FileName is the name of the opened file;MultiSelect property equals true , the FileName is the name of first selected file. For a complete list of opened files’ names, use the FileNames property instead.The following code snippets (auto-collected from DevExpress Examples) contain references to the FileName property.

The algorithm used to collect these code examples remains a work in progress. Accordingly, the links and snippets below may produce inaccurate results. If you encounter an issue with code examples below, please use the feedback form on this page to report the issue.
