Programatically changing OpenFileDialog

[focusrsh]

A customer wants the OpenFileDialog to display the files as a detailed list, ordered by date. He can do this easily when the OpenFileDialog appears by clicking on "Views" icon, selecting "Details", and then clicking on the 'Date Modified' header. But he wants this to be the default condition when the dialog opens.

I haven't found any way to programmatically change the manner in which the files are displayed in the OpenFileDialog. I've search a number of .Net forums about this but haven't see a good answer. Maybe someone here knows?
