selectPictureDialog problem

Hi guys
I am trying to use the selectPictureDialog.
Here's the code i already have:

VB Code:

Dim selectPictureDialog As SelectPictureDialog = New SelectPictureDialog
        Dim selectedFile As String
        With selectPictureDialog
            .InitialDirectory = System.Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData)
            .Filter = "JPEG (*.jpg)|*.jpg"
            .FilterIndex = 1
            .CameraAccess = True
            .ShowDialog()
            selectedFile = .FileName
            '.SortOrder = SortOrder.DateAscending
        End With
        MsgBox("Photos shown")

Now this code is triggered every time a particular button is clicked. Now when the button is clicked all that happens is the messagebox shows. I also notice a quick flash (which i assume means it is for some reason exiting itself straight after being initialised.) Can anybody see why it is doing this and how i may be able to fix it.

Thanks in advance

Oh n i forgot to mention.....i'm using .net compact framework 2.0 Thanx.

Outside the 'With'

VB Code:

If selectPictureDialog.ShowDialog = DialogResult.OK Then
                selectedFile = .FileName
                End if
MsgBox("Photos shown")

Inside should work as well but you need that conditional statement.

Umpf, name your dialog something else than the class, like selectPictureDialog1

Thanks for the quick reply

I tried both inside and outside the with statement and i still get the same result....Just the messagebox shows!

Tried changing the name aswell....still no luck!

What type of control is "SelectPictureDialog"? I have never seen this component. Is this a custom control? a third party component?

Hi VBDT,

I believe that it's a component for Windows Mobile.

Hi VBDT,

Never did I, but after a quick search found that it's for Windows Mobile.

What are you expecting to happen? You get the path of the file the user selected and assign it to a string. That's all. At no point do you open that file and create an Image object. Also, what if the user presses the Cancel button? Make sure you test the return value of ShowDialog, as previously suggested.
