Remarks

This class enables the user to open one or more files on a the local computer or a networked computer. The following illustration shows the OpenFileDialog in a Silverlight application running on Windows 7 and hosted in Internet Explorer.

Open File Dialog

Open file dialog box.

You show the dialog box to the user by calling the ShowDialog method. For security purposes Silverlight file and print dialogs must be user-initiated. In addition, there is a limit on the time allowed between when the user initiates the dialog and when the dialog is shown. If the time limit between these actions is exceeded, an exception will occur.

You can optionally specify a filter for the dialog box by using the Filter property.

You cannot specify an initial folder for the OpenFileDialog. The first time the OpenFileDialog is displayed for an application, the initial folder is based on the user's settings. Additional displays of the OpenFileDialog for an application use the folder of the last selected file.

If you attempt to show the dialog box from KeyDown event handlers and other synchronous calls to application code, such as LayoutUpdated or SizeChanged event handlers, an exception will be thrown. An exception will not be thrown when the application is hosted in Internet Explorer, running in protected mode.

Note:
Silverlight does not have a browse folder dialog box and you cannot use the OpenFileDialog to just select a folder.

Note:
The Silverlight plug-in does not support OpenFileDialog in full-screen mode. In most cases, displaying this dialog box in full-screen mode will cause the plug-in to revert to embedded mode. To avoid issues on some browsers, you should exit full-screen mode before using this class. For more information, see Full-Screen Support.

Platform Notes

Silverlight for Windows Phone

OpenFileDialog is not supported in Silverlight for Windows Phone.
