Error Selecting Directory Shortcuts In Open File Dialog?
Aug 19, 2010
I'm running in to a bit of a strange error with an application I'm writing. I have a number of shortcuts on my computer desktop that take me to my various folders (documents, music, etc) and have always been able to navigate using them when I open a file through applications such as Word. However when I use an OpenFileDialog box in VB.NET and select one of these shortcuts to take me to the file I'm after I am getting the following error message...

I need a code for the open file dialog that if a file is not supported then a message box appears stating the error. This is my open file dialog code. [code] The message box pops up like it is suppose to, when you click ok the open file comes back up like it is suppose to. When you put in the correct file the message box comes back up again. Also the message pops up even if the correct file is put in the open file. but if you close the file dialog the image is where it is suppose to be.I believe the code for the public sub wrongfile is what is the problem. can some one look it over and let me know what changes are needed.

code snippet that would allow a progress bar to track the input of a text file? Normally I would not bother with this, but the text files are > 10,000 lines long, which is noticable even on a fast machine. The number of lines is variable, so I would assume that one would not use a fixed value to calculate when the progress bar goes 100%.

I am trying to open a Dialog box to select a file. I then need to drop that value into a FileStream StreamReader to read it so the combo box will show a list of values in the selected .ini file. I've got pieces of it but I am not sure of the glue that will connect the two. I am posted what code I have below.
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim FileParser() As String

I have completed the vb tutorial on
[URL]
and have successfully got a file name from the open file dialog when coded as part of the "Public Class Form1" -> Private Function btnOpenXML_Click function that was generated automatically by vb. The openFD was generated by adding the OpenFileDialog to the pane underneath the form.
Private Function btnOpenXML_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnOpenXML.Click
Dim strFileName As String
[Code]....
I'd like to move this code to a module so that it does not clutter my main form1 layout.
However when copy the code to a new module, the openFD is not recognised.
how to I re-declare this openFD or pass it into the function so that it can be used?

i have wrote a program that allows users to open and save text files etc and it all works fine. All i was hoping to find out is if it is possible to specify the initial folder you are taken to when using the OpenFileDialog. This would be useful as the users only open and edit files from one folder which takes quite a bit of drilling down to to find.
Public Partial Class MainForm
Dim i As Integer = 0
Sub OpenToolStripMenuItemClick(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)

I want to clear the history in an open file dialog, so that previous opened files won't be shown if a user clicks on the drop down arrow behind "File name". I have created an open file dialog and named it "ofd_openen".
Then I 've tried:
ofd_Openen.SafeFileNames = False
and also
ofd_Openen.FileNames.Clear()
but that doesn't work.

I am doing setup project in VS 2008. I used custom action to select file from local drives. On the button click of custom action form, I am launching Open file dialog as ofdGetNetPath.ShowDialog When I run the setup on Vista, and click the button to open the openFileDialog, it hanged, form becomes non responsive and I have to cancel the setup.
on debugging I got following error "Current thread must be set to single thread apartment (STA) mode before OLE calls can be made. Ensure that your main function has STAThreadAttribute marked in it. This exception is only raised if a debugger is attached to the process."
so I used the following code:
Dim ofdThread As Thread ofdThread = New Thread(New ThreadStart(AddressOf ShowOpenFileDialog)) ofdThread.SetApartmentState(ApartmentState.STA) ofdThread.Start() Private Sub ShowOpenFileDialog() Me.ofdGetNetPath.ShowDialog() End Sub
now on button click, OpenFileDialog is shown but it is not showing Mapped drive or Network location... what should I need to do to show the mapped drive or network locations?
