I am really grateful for Asian and far east programmers for making great videos explaining things clearly in English whilst others make videos that lead to no where
well done Sir and many thanks

I noticed my .txt files weren't working but my .pdf files showed up. So a quick check in the code and the space was the problem. So to anyone that can't get this to work, make sure the code is ..."TEXT BOX | *.txt| ...." the reason the .pdf worked was it was at the end of the string without a space (.... .pdf")

Hi,
I have a button called UpLoad on my webpage which ask to upload the .csv file.
I am able to click that button using VBA code and after clicking that button on webpage a popup appears similar to open dialog box which ask to upload a file for example say "Star.csv" but i want to insert the file name called "Star.csv" which is stored in my local directory automatically using VBA without user interaction.
Any help will be appreciated .
Thanks!

HI This is fine if one is using a forms based project but I'm trying to use an open file dialogue in a WebForms project and in a web form, the OpenFormDialogue doesn't appear in the Toolbox... Does this mean I can't use this approach?

[@MichaelAllen14]

Hey, instead of opening a filepath i want to open a windows search like so ''search-ms:displayname=Search%20Results%20in%20Pictures&crumb=Anyintegernumber%3A%3D4%20OR%20System.Generic.String%3A4&crumb=location:C'' but visual basic doesent allow this, is there any way to include a search before opening the folderpath ?

[@danielw9542]

I did find this video very helpful but when I ran my program and had:ListBox1.Text = (OpenFileDialog1.FileNames(x))It came up with an error saying: An unhandled exception to type 'System.IndexOutOfRangeException' occurred in filePath.exeAdditional information: Index was outside the bounds of the array.Please can I get shown where I went wrong. Thank YouP.S.. no matter what I use (message box, label, button, etc...) I get the same thing over and over again.

Hi , can you publish or put a code how to insert a image in the database

[@jacobbaird5428]

Angel Maldonado Diaz Say I want to set the background image on a picture box called Picture1 to an imported file using OpenFileDialog, I'd write:
Picture1.BackgroundImage = Image.FromFile(OpenFileDialog1.FileName)

[@Axeyked]

" For x = 0 To OpenFileDialog1.FileName.Count - 1" this solution of puting -1 after Count isn't working, does anyone know the solution?

[@rii3534]

hi I'm from the future, have you managed to solve the error?🤣

[@Axeyked]

@@rii3534 yup, the solution is to leave programming and take up technical writing as a career 😂
