Hello I'm new here and im a bit confused about a certain code i am trying to do. The code is for opening the file dialog and when the object has been selected it would be shown in the web browser or open any file, the code i have done opens the file dialog box, but as too is this well the web browser starts to navigate thinking it can find the file but it always does not. Can anyone help with this problem i am having please ?.I am also unsure about how you can make custom settings and how they can work, the reason i want to know this is because i have made a transparency slider and also has a form colour changer, I just do not know how to get these prefrences set for the user so when he/she opens the form up it will be how they selected it.
Here is the code for the open file dialog problem i am having

The code won't open a file since it never gets any file name. Try it this way:
now it may or may not open and show the file in the control. If you try to open exe or similar file, you'll get IE's 'Run/Save/Cancel' -dialog.
The OpenFileDialog component allows users to browse the folders of their computer or any computer on the network and select one or more files to open. The dialog box returns the path and name of the file the user selected in the dialog box. Once the user has selected the file to be opened, there are two approaches to the mechanism of opening the file. Gets or sets the filter string that determines what types of files are displayed from either the OpenFileDialog or SaveFileDialog. Alternative to OpenFileDialog?

Posted in VB.NET| XAML IN VB.NET on November 06, 2012 Tags: vb.net, OpenFileDialog in WPF, wpf openfiledialog, visual studio 2010 This article shows the OpenFileDialog to select a file in VB.NET. The OpenFileDialog control prompts the user to open a file and allows the user to select a file to open. The user can check if the file exists and then open it. The OpenFileDialog control class inherits from the abstract class FileDialog. If the ShowReadOnly property is set to True, then a read-only check box appears in the dialog box.
What custom settings? Please, be more specific.

If you just want to load a file, you don't need to make a new form. Just have a button or menu item that says load DB. Clicking that will pop an OpenFileDialog. Drag an openFileDialog control onto the form and give it a meaningful name (openFileDialog1..)

There are plenty of examples for using the openFileDialog control if you get stuck, or need quick help.
