Open File Dialogue problem

[venerable bede]

I use the following code to open a dialogue box. The user chooses a file and that image file is used as the source for the picturebox control :

Private Sub btnChoose1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnChoose1.Click
Dim ofdImage1 As New OpenFileDialog()
ofdImage1.Filter = "Picture Files|*.bmp;*.jpg;*.jpeg;*.gif;*.ico"
ofdImage1.ShowDialog()
If (ofdImage1.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK) Then
Me.picImage1.Image = New Bitmap(ofdImage1.FileName)
End If
End Sub

The problem is that if I choose from the file dialogue box, or hit cancel, the dialogue box appears a second time.

I dont understand.

Any ideas folks ?

TIA

remove this call ofdImage1.ShowDialog() and it should work as you want .

Try this

Private Sub btnChoose1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnChoose1.Click
Dim ofdImage1 As New OpenFileDialog()
ofdImage1.Filter = "Picture Files|*.bmp;*.jpg;*.jpeg;*.gif;*.ico"
If (ofdImage1.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK) Then
Me.picImage1.Image = New Bitmap(ofdImage1.FileName)
End If
End Sub
