It would be impossible for the ShowDialog() to return true if no file has been selected.

If you set the OpenFileDialog's CheckFileExists property to true first then the user can enter a file name that does not exist and then you would get the file path.

I think what you need is a FolderBrowserDialog, which is not built-in with WPF, but can be implemented like in this library: wpfdialogs
