Make New File With OpenFileDialog
Nov 28, 2004
could someone give me a some sort of clue about opening nonexistant files in VB.NET?? I am learning this as I go, and I can open existing files using the OpenFileDialog box, but I cant not find an real explanation on how to create a file if it is not in existance... in other words, I want to know now to code so that when a user enteres a filename in the filename box in the OpenFileDialog and that file does not already exist then the file is created as a new file, and then opened. I have done some googleing and found all sorts of examples on opening existing files, but nothing that really gives a good explanation of how to create a new file and then open it...

Does anybody know how to make an OpenFileDialog where the file displays in a textbox, BUT, can only show the file, not the directories(eg. "Song.mp3" Not "C:\Files\Song.mp3")I've got the code for the OpenFileDialog
If OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then TextBox9.Text = OpenFileDialog1.FileName End If And I've added the OpenFileDialog. I just don't know how to display the file without directories.

I have files that start with unique numbers and are word documents. Say the document starts with "1234567" is there a way to make the OpenFileDialog filter to where only all the .doc files that start with "1234567" show up?

im trying to make an application which on start ask the user to browse for a .lnk file Once the lnk file has been browsed,the application is shown and there are two buttons
1.Launch
2.Exit
When The Launch Button Is Clicked,The .lnk File which the user browsed to at application startup should open. On exit,well it just exits the application! and the openfiledialog should pop up only for the first time the user ever opens the application.the file path should be stored in a .txt or .ini or registry file so that next time he doesnt have to browse for it again..how would i go about doing this!Here is my code so far!

How can I make a program so you click a button and select a File using a OpenFileDialog and click send on your computer and it will send the file to a different computer and then a SaveFileDialog will show asking where to save the file on the other computer. Oh ya I cant use WinSock or whatever becuase im using Windows Vista 64 Bit. I need it because I for some reason cant use printer sharing. It might be because im on A 64bit Vista Machine and I want to print a file off of a 32bit XP Home Machine.

way to display the name of a file in a textbox from an openfiledialog (including the file type) For example: Instead of "C:Users eadme.txt", to display just "readme.txt" in the textbox.
Edit: AND if possible, how to display the inverse, too ("C:Users", instead of "C:Users
eadme.txt" or something)

If I am in Word and I say File Open, it displays files of type All Files. If I have a Compressed Folder in the current location, I can right click on that folder and Extract All. Then if I extracted a filetype that Word can read, I can click on the file I just extracted and opened this is Word. All from saying File Open. I want to replicate this behavior in my .NET code. Maybe I am missing a property when I create my OpenFileDialog, but if I right click on the same file as above, I do not get a context menu that will let me Extract All.
This is my .NET
Dim dlgZipFile As New OpenFileDialog
dlgZipFile.Title = "Please navigate to the location of the input file"
dlgZipFile.InitialDirectory = "C:ProjectsFiles"
dlgZipFile.Filter = "All Files (*.*)|*.*"
dlgZipFile.FileName = ""
If dlgZipFile.ShowDialog <> Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then Return False

I have a VB/C# .NET 2.0 project that, if possible, I would like to customize the OpenFileDialog box to select a directory rather than a file. The reason for this is because the FolderBrowserDialog is ugly and a pain for most of my users to navigate using.
I know how to filter extensions using OpenFileDialog, but is there a flag or variable I can set that will allow me to only show directories and select those directories that is built into .NET? And if not, what is a good third party dialog to use/where should I begin if I am to create my own?

I have a form on which the user selects a file using an openFileDialog. The selected filepath is then processed, which may take 10-20 seconds before the user is presented with the results.I'm finding that the once the user selects the file (clicking the OK button on the openFileDialog), the openFileDialog remains open until all of the processing going on in the background is completed. Once the processing has finished the openFileDialog disappears and the results are shown.The problem is that whilst the openFileDialog remains open on screen, it is not apparent to the user that anything is happening in the background. I do actually have a textbox which updates the user with messages showing the progress. However the openFileDialog hides the messages until it closes, essentially making the progress messages useless.What I'm trying to do is have the openFileDialog close immediately that the user selects a file. Then the processing can continue without the openFileDialog obscuring my form.

I currently know how to click a button on the application and when I click it, it invokes the OpenFileDialog Event or Object. After It Opens the Open File Dialog, I am able to select only ONE file from a location on my computer. After I click that Single File on my computer, I press the Okay or Open Button on the Open File Dialog, and then it adds that items to my list Box, knows as PlayList_00 and PlayList_01.
Here's what I got so far.
Private Sub addBTN_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles addBTN.Click
OFD.InitialDirectory = "C:Movies"
OFD.ShowDialog()
PlayList_00.Items.Add(OFD.FileName)

I am trying to open a .csv file via openfiledialog and then display information on a datagridview...What would be some ways to approach this? I have tried reading the file, separating the values by commas and placing them in a string followed by placing the string into a list. I place them in a list because I have more than one string of text I want operated in the CSV file. How can I display each string of separated values onto my datagridview?

I'm doing a project now. I'm having a problem on getting specific file type from my computer using the .getfiles function.
Here's my codes.

Dim filepath as String = "C:"
dlgOpen.CheckFileExists = True

What I wanted to happen is when the openfiledialog prompted and once I've selected the file, the file information I've specified above must show on the application as a label. But nothing appears. The file name only appears on the text box beside the open button. It should also appear above the button and the text box as a label. How could i possibly do that? And how could I select just one file at a time from a folder with 150 other files in it? When I use getFiles, it only gets all at the same time everything that's in the folder even if i've only just selected one file.

I'm trying to Load data from a Text file, which is "," Delimited into 6 List Boxes.. Want a FileOpenDialog Box so that the user Can chose which Office Id txt File they wont to load into the List Boxes.How it works is;
-The user Enters an Office ID (e.g HH33)
-The user fills out the rest of the program, the data is then generated into the 6 list Boxes
-User then clicks Save to File button.
-The program creates a Text file with the name coming from the Office Id, so if the user enters HH33, the text file is created with name HH33.txt.
-All Data entered by the user under the office name HH33 will be added to the Text File..[code]
