Just use the OpenFileDialog, ColorDialog, and whatnot. There is no need to use the the COM component.

How do I do it through code

[BryanZM]

just drop the component on your form

 

and look at the code it generates behind, pretty easy from there.

Dim opendialog As New OpenFileDialog() 'declare a new open file dialog
'now set some options..
opendialog.Filter = "Text Files (*.txt)|*.txt" 'example of a filter
opendialog.CheckFileExists = True
'.. there is more options, check your SDK documentation 
If opendialog.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then 'if user pressed ok
   'do what you want because the user selected the file you can get it using:
   opendialog.FileName
End If

Remeber to check for DialogResult on all your dialog boxes.
