I have the SDK and Extensions installed and I'd like my OpenFileDialogbox to look like the ones in Vista. I assume they are from the framework 3.0

What I don't want to hear is the only way I can use them is to rewrite my app in WPF to do it.

How can I call it from my app. By the way I am running Vista and I do has Orcas installed also.
 
goto google and type in 'vista openfiledialog' and you'll get many links to forums and tips on how to achieve this. Although I am operating on vista I personally havn't worked with any of these options yet but this seems to be the solution for the most part. At least for now.

Read the forums google finds to see what that link is all about. I actually got the link myself from one of the forums I was reading.
 
Thanks! I found what I wanted I decided to use the Ookii vista opendialog .dll it works great under .net 2.0 and is backward compatable so if my customers are using Vista they will see the vista style f Xp or older they will see those dialog boxes.
