simple VB .NET question - Visual Basic 4 / 5 / 6

cmonkeyb

Hey all,

I am new to VB .NET and wanted to know how to prompt the user for a file
name which I would then assign to a local variable.
So, what is the function call that will accomplish this?

Almost everybody in this newsgroup is using VB6 or lower. While you may get
a stray answer to VB.NET questions here, you should ask them in newsgroups
devoted exclusively to .NET programming. Look for newsgroups with either the
word "dotnet" or "vsnet" in their name.

For the microsoft news server, try these newsgroups...

microsoft.public.dotnet.general
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb
microsoft.public.vsnet.general

There are some others, but these should get you started.
