Opening a file
To open a file, it is required to set the right properties of the service and then make a call to the DetermineFile method:
var dependencyResolver = this.GetDependencyResolver(); var openFileService = dependencyResolver.Resolve<IOpenFileService>(); openFileService.Filter = "All files|*.*"; if (openFileService.DetermineFile()) { // User selected a file }
