Solution

  • You can add this line in your OpenFileDialog's Filter under its properties 

    Image File|*.jpg|Icon files|*.ico

    and so on.. It's a set of a file type string and its extension format

    Image File|*.jpg

    define one type of file type supported, you can use multiple format for a file type name e.g.

    Image Files|*.jpg,*.png,*.bmp

    Or simply support All files by using following filter, but it is not recommended anyway

    All Files|*.*
