Typical File open, file save, etc in VB

[Athono]

I am just getting into VB and I am used to programming in C++.

Visual C has a class called CFileOpen for handling the selection of a file on the hard drive for opening and reading and closing.

Do I have to do all that from scratch in VB? Do I have create my own form that mirrors the one you see when a user wants to open a file?

Press Ctrl+T to open the Components dialog. In the list, select

Microsoft Common Dialog 6.0 (SP3)

or whatever service pack you have. Drop the control in your form and use the ShowOpen or ShowSave methods to display the standard file dialog
