good way to open a file with the OpenFileDialogue in Visual Basic.NET 2005 Express

I have made a program with a MDI that can edit text documents. However I cannot open files. My saving function works fine. Could someone please tell me a good way to open a file with the OpenFileDialogue in Visual Basic.NET 2005 Express Edition and give me some sample code?

Thanks in advance!

1_Below is the code in C# , you can easily change it to VB
2_C# is a more respected language than VB, so move away from VB and get your language right from the begining.

OpenFileDialog openFileDialog1 = new OpenFileDialog();
openFileDialog1.Filter = "Access DataBase Files (*.mdb)|*.mdb|All files (*.*)|*.*";
openFileDialog1.FilterIndex = 1;
openFileDialog1.RestoreDirectory = true;
if (openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
//Do what you need to do the file by using openFileDialog1.FileName e.g. next line
Access.FullPathToDB = openFileDialog1.FileName;
}

You dont need a 3rd paty tool to convcert that to VB.
Use your mind that is the best tool you have, there is hardly anything in the C# code that you already dont know in VB.
Sorry to hear you want to change C# to VB, here is how to use OpenFileDialog VB code included

Hey don't worry, Thanks for the code... lol I just used SharpDevelop to convert the code.

I can also change VB.NET to C#.NET and vice versa... Handy... Now I need to find some online books to help me code in C#...
