At the moment I am using this:
Dim Open As New OpenFileDialog
Open.ShowDialog()
TextBox2.Text = Open.FileName
But that only allows me to open specific files. Can I make it so I can open a folder?

What I need is to have a specific file on my desktop open when I click a cell in my datagrid. In one of the columns in my datagrid I have a list of file pathways. I have a code that will open my file, but it is not specific:
Partial Class Database1DataSet

This works just fine, but would I would like it to do is have the file path be whatever is specified in the cell.

I use DocTools to Create a Compiled HTML Help File. I want to link to a specific topic in the help file from my program, but the filenames of the html files are generated randomly.
Is there any way to open a CHM to a specific topic by name?
I created a wrapper for DocTools, so I could have the command line piped to a text box and then I could obtain the Topics from there and save them in an INI file that I read when I call the help, but I don't know how to pipe the command line to a textbox.

I am loading a KJV.rtf file at program startup into RichTextBoxDisplay. When I want to select, lets say, Matthew Chapter 1, I want the program to take me to Matthew Chapter 1. I know I could just load a seperate file into the rtbDisplay, but do you know how many chapters and books are in the Bible..

I want to create a program in vb .net that let me know who is using a specific file? Because I often update an .exe file but if it's in use I can't overwrite it. So if I know who is using the .exe I can call him to tell him o close the app.

I'm using:

I have multiple versions of an app that uses a dll, I have to replace the dll with the correct version and register it. The plan was to delete it from system32, and copy over the relevant version, then register it.

I am trying to write a section of Access VB code that opens the Windows dialog box and allows my user to select and open a file to verify it is the correct one. (Then I use the file path and name to copy, rename and move the file). I have been trying to use the OpenFileName structure and have succeeded in capturing the file path and name my user selected... My main problem in all of this is getting the file to actually open so the user can verify it before I commit the actions noted. This probably can be done as a part of the OpenFileName dialog if I understood it better, but but isn't there also a trivial way to open a file if you have the path and name?

I have an excel file,having lot or micros, connecting to database, doing some complex calculation..inshot that excel file is itself an application.
Now I want to open that excel in VB.net form, on button click. I prefer to open that excel in vb.net form itself having all the excel tool bar etc, If that is not possible then opening in separate window using excel will also solve my purpose (coz when we open in excel it self we will get all the toolbar option etc automatically)

I want to find the full path of the program that will open a given file type. e.g. '.txt' is opened by c:windowssystem32 otepad.exe
I've done a bit of searching but i keep just finding how to create an association, not read one. I've also tried looking in the registery, but it looks like all that's there is a link to the program ID or something.

I am having Beta Testers go through my program. For some reason, the help file doesn't open but crashes the program. But it is in the program folder... I'm not sure why it is having a problem finding it.I created a try catch format because it seemed to have a problem at one point between looking in the 32 bit program folder or the 64 bit even though the program itself is in 64 bit...[code].....

I have a program that runs some data manipulation on a file when it is double-clicked and then displays this to the user.However, when I double click on the same file type of a different file it opens in a separate instance of my program instead of the same instance already running, i.e. some message that says would you like to reload file, YesNo, and then given the answer perform the action required.I have found some code to stop a second instance from opening, but this is inconvienient for the user to close out of the program everytime they want to view a new file.[code]

I got this chunk of code off the internet, i think the sample program was called "store images and files on sql server" i added the delete routine, so it is a little better than when i found it, but it opens pictures in big picturebox at the very last line, i was wondering if there's a way to call windows photo editor or something newer instead of the form it's calling

How do I open this .REG file in Visual Basic 2010?
I'm trying to make a program that will launch this registry file that I've put already in the Resources folder of the program.
BTW if you're curious it's not a harmful program I'm making.
So all I've done so far is put the file in the resources folder of the program, but I don't know how to actually launch it.
