DataGrid add function to cell button

Question

Hello all I wanted to ask how I can add function to button in dataGridCell, so when click button it open file explorer, I select file and it return file path in other cell.

The function I want add under button of datagrid cell "Browse":

public string test5()
    {
        var fileContent = string.Empty;
        var filePath = string.Empty;

        using (OpenFileDialog openFileDialog = new OpenFileDialog())
        {
            openFileDialog.InitialDirectory = "c:\\users\\Desktop";
            openFileDialog.Filter = "txt files (*.txt)|*.txt|All files (*.*)|*.*";
            openFileDialog.FilterIndex = 2;
            openFileDialog.RestoreDirectory = true;

            if (openFileDialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
            {
                //Get the path of specified file
                filePath = openFileDialog.FileName;
            }
            return filePath;
        }
    }

then I wrote under button load data with this button function I want use above:

 private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        //xDxD();
        //xDxD2();

        //textBox1.Text = xDxD2();

        //this.dataGridView1.Rows.Add("five", "six", "seven", "eight"); 
        this.dataGridView1.Rows.Insert(0, "one", "two", "three", test5());
    }

But when I click button1, then it auto start function from this cell.

Sorry for my english.

You were very close to succeeding

If this code is not helpful you should check this out: Extracting Path from OpenFileDialog path/filename

But here is my code:

OpenFileDialog openFileDialog = new OpenFileDialog();
openFileDialog.InitialDirectory = "c:\\users\\Desktop";
openFileDialog.Filter = "txt files (*.txt)|*.txt|All files (*.*)|*.*";
openFileDialog.FilterIndex = 2;
openFileDialog.RestoreDirectory = true;

if (openFileDialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
    var filePath = Path.GetDirectoryName(openFileDialog.FileName);
    textBox1.Text = filePath;
}

Hope you found what you need!
