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
}
