C# using Windows File Explorer to set selected file to string array?

I'm starting a new project, and I need to be able to save/load users data.

I want them to click a button, then this brings up a file explorer where they select their .txt file. This .txt file then needs to be stored in a string array, where I can then manipulate the data.

If someone could point me in the right direction of what tools to use, that would be great. I've looked at OpenFileDialog, but I don't see how to assign it to an array.

Sounds like you're just looking for File.ReadAllLines - once you've got the filename, of courses. You need to separate out the tasks of "let the user select a file" from "read the contents of the file".

OpenFileDialog is probably the right tool to use for the first part, then File.ReadAllLines for the second...
