To explain this, I can only use example. Let's say, I choose Index.doc on my openFileDialog. However, as you know, on the Processes tab under Windows Task Manager, it will display WINWORD.EXE. So how can I get WINWORD.EXE to display on a label / textbox / any readable tool after opening Index.doc? Perhaps this code snippet can get you a clearer understanding of my current code.

My users need to browse to select a file and then save it to a different location. Here's my code I've got so far - it incorporates the OpenFileDialog to open the file and the SaveFileDialog to save the file. When the code goes into the OpenFileDialog portion, it works great....the initial directory is set to "C:" This is where the user will select the file they want to save to another location.

View 5 RepliesThis is my first post on dreamInCode, Is it possible to browse and select a file on a server share, but I need it to return the UNC path. e.g. if I select F:\sharename\filename.txt, it will work out the share path on the PC and show the actual Path.\\servername\sharegroupName\sharename\filename.txt
The reason for this is that some users have different share drive letters.

I'm trying to put a filter in the OpenFileDialog that makes it only show files with the extensions .REB and .MRG.
This is what I have but it isn't working: OpenFileDialog1.Filter = "MRG and REB Files (*.MRG;*.REB)|*.MRG;*.REB"
ok, So I can call on the open file Dialog so it can be used. The problem comes when I want to put it to actual use. The idea is that the user pics an image from there "directory" and then it displays in an image box (which is already there) so, how would I use the open file dialog to locate the image and then display it in the image box?

View 5 RepliesI'm revamping a program and am having a bit of trouble. See I was using StreamReader in my last program. The user had to type the path and file into a textbox to get the program to load the information it needed. So I wanted to change that and use a OpenFileDialog method.
I got the open file dialog method working but the 1st step before I go anywhere else with this program is getting the path to the file that was opened as it is needed to load images within the same folder.
I want get the file names specified in the OpenFileDialog I've used Multiselect in OpenFileDialog?
