Thank Uma Harano‌, It help for filter dropdown default, but How shall I add default file name in name textbox? string initialLocation = ZetaLongPaths.ZlpPathHelper.Combine(Project.Current.URI, this.SelectedLayer.Name + "_Ascii.txt"); var txtFilter = BrowseProjectFilter.GetFilter("esri_browseDialogFilters_browseFiles"); txtFilter.FileExtension = "*.txt";//restrict to specific extensions as needed txtFilter.BrowsingFilesMode = true; //Specify a name to show in the filter dropdown combo box - otherwise the name will show as "Default" txtFilter.Name = "Text Files (*.txt)"; SaveItemDialog tmpDestination = new SaveItemDialog() { Title = "ASCII Output file name", AlwaysUseInitialLocation = true, InitialLocation = initialLocation, BrowseFilter = txtFilter, OverwritePrompt = true };‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

There is a built in browse dialog filter for text files you could use. Like this: var txtFilter = BrowseProjectFilter.GetFilter("esri_browseDialogFilters_textFiles_txt"); SaveItemDialog saveTxtFileDialog = new SaveItemDialog() { Title = "Save Txt File", InitialLocation = @"C:\Data\", BrowseFilter = txtFilter, OverwritePrompt = true }; bool? result = saveTxtFileDialog.ShowDialog();‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Or you could make your own filter to use like this: var txtFilter = BrowseProjectFilter.GetFilter("esri_browseDialogFilters_browseFiles"); txtFilter.FileExtension = "*.txt;"; txtFilter.BrowsingFilesMode = true; txtFilter.Name = "Txt files (*.txt;)"; SaveItemDialog saveTxtFileDialog = new SaveItemDialog() { Title = "Save Txt File", InitialLocation = @"C:\Data\", BrowseFilter = txtFilter, OverwritePrompt = true }; bool? result = saveTxtFileDialog.ShowDialog();‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍
