I have an app that uses the OpenFile Dialog class. When I invoke the ShowDialog method, the hourglass appears and just stays. The dialog window never opens. I created a test form with an OpenFileDialog object in a new app, and it works fine. I then added that test form to the original project, and it no longer works. So far, the application is fairly simple, it contains a treeview and a listview and some data access components. Has anyone ecer heard of this problem?

Here is some more info. If I do not open an SQL connection, and run the app without debugging, the dialog opens. However, if I open a SQL connection prior to showing the dialog, even if I close the connection right away, the dialog hangs. It also hangs if I run under debug whether or not I open the connection. I created a test app which only contains the openfile dialog, the sql connection and a button. I cut and paste the connection string form my original app, and the dialog worked fine even with an open connection. I then made a copy of the original app and deleted everything from it except the dialog, the sql connection and a button. It looks identical to the working test app I created, but the open file dialog still does not work. I am totally confused. I am going to start cutting and pasting code from the old app into the working test app and see what happens.

When you created the project, did you specify that it was a windows forms
project, or a control, or a console application, etc...
It may be that you created the second application using a different
selection than you used the first time, and that VS set up different
settings for you.
Just a hunch,
Good Luck,

Thanks for the reply. I don't think I did that. Anyhow, I
cut and pasted the code from the non-working app into my
test app, one section at a time. Now it works OK. However,
when I copied the entire thing over into the test app, it
didn't work. I am not sure what is going on, but now that
it works, so I won't worry about it. -----Original Message-----

Hi all!
I have a problem with the OpenFile dialog that I use in my program.
I created a Browse button to allow for the selection of a text file that is
processed by my program. The Browse button works perfectly when the .EXE is
on my station. If I copy the .EXE to a network drive, the Browse button stops
functioning. I have never seen this happen before.

Hi there,
I wanted to know if there is a way to specify the default location the
OpenFileDialog shows when the browse button is pressed on the FileUpload
Control. i.e "c:\program files\". I know this can be done for the win forms
version of the dialog box. I understand that is displays the client side
folder structure and not the server, and I know for a fact that the default
location exists.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
