You can use the FolderBrowserDialog[^] class instead of the FileDialog one.

If you need to use OpenFileDialog for some reason, and the FolderBrowserDialog suggested by Abhinav S is not enough, you still can get folder name by using Path.GetDirectoryName[^] on the selected file name.
If you need to be able to select folder and/or file in the same dialog, this can be a solution: https://github.com/scottwis/OpenFileOrFolderDialog[^], but there are other solutions too for this task out there...
