Open up Visual Basic

Insert a textbox, and button

Double click your button:

Make a variable called ofd

Code

Dim ofd As New OpenFileDialog

What this is: Declaring a variable called ofd and makes new OpenFileDialog

Now call your variable and give it a title and filter it.

Code

ofd.Title = "Select Your file!" : ofd.Filter = "(*.exe)|*.exe"

Now make an id statement that if the file was ok change the textbox's text to the file name.

Code

If ofd.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
      TextBox1.Text = ofd.FileName
      End If

Final Code:

Code

Private Sub ElegantThemeButton2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ElegantThemeButton2.Click
      Dim ofd As New OpenFileDialog
      ofd.Title = "Select Your file!" : ofd.Filter = "(*.exe)|*.exe"
      If ofd.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
      TextBox1.Text = ofd.FileName
      End If
    End Sub

Code

If ofd.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
      TextBox1.Text = ofd.FileName
      Else : Exit Sub

      End If

Why are you handling the else and doing nothing with it when it will exit the sub regardless? Also, please don't use the colon when you're making tutorials... They're meant to be clear. What awful writing. Why does this irritate me so much?

It's not just you that it irritates. If you use it, atleast use it correctly, not like this.

And why are you exiting sub op? Do this its so much cleaner.

Code

Using ofd As New OpenFileDilaog With {.Filter = "Executable|*.exe"}
If ofd.ShowDialog = DialogResult.OK Then
' To stuff here
End If
End Using

But if you're trying to help beginners, atleast advance from it yourself first.
