Use FolderBrowserDialog instead of SaveFileDialog.

Prompts the user to select a folder.

Example from MSDN. 

DialogResult result = folderBrowserDialog1.ShowDialog();
if( result == DialogResult.OK )
{
    string folderName = folderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath;
    //........
}

Instead of using the SaveFileDialog consider using the FolderBrowserDialog for selecting a folder.

This will allow you to select a folder path, otherwise selecting a folder with the SaveFileDialog is nuanced at best and not recommended.
