It looks like it wasn't available in CF 1.1 but it is in 2.0.
Thanks for looking at this topic. Unfortunately, I think the documentation isn't quite that clear.
In the VS 2005 documentation with CF 2.0, you see the following:
Target Platforms:
Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows Millennium Edition, Windows 2000, Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2000 Advanced Server, Windows XP Home Edition, Windows XP Professional, Windows Server 2003, Windows "Longhorn",
Windows Mobile 2003 for Pocket PC, Windows CE, Windows Mobile 2003 for Smartphone
Version Information:
.NET Framework -- Supported in: 2.0, 1.1, 1.0
So, if the doc's say the target platforms include smart devices, then why doesn't it list the .NET Compact Framework, such as what is shown for the SaveFileDialog:
Version Information
.NET Framework
Supported in: 2.0, 1.1, 1.0
.NET Compact Framework
Supported in: 2.0, 1.0
So, I am still quite confused about what is available. I think there's real confusion about what is supported in VB .NET CF based on the documentation described to date. That's too bad, but I guess I'll have to just live with it. Just for kicks 'n grins, I changed the target platform to the Windows Mobile device and not Pocket PC 2003 and opened a new project, but there's still no FileDialog control in the Toolbox. If it's not here in the VS 2005 with CF 2.0 in beta 2 form, I'd be amazed if it'll be there when the version goes gold in a couple months.
