  Sorry for the late reply, to do multiple extensions, just change the code above to

  OpenFileDialog.Filter = "JPEG files (*.jpg;*.jpeg)|*.jpg;*.jpeg| Text Files (*.txt)|*.txt|All Files (*.*)|*.*"

  Best regards,

  I assume you mean open and save file actions.
  
  You can add an MDI Parent Form sample into your project (Project | Add New Item | MDI Parent Form) and see how OpenFileDialog and SaveFileDialog are used. Here's the sample code from the form:
  
  

  Private Sub OpenFile(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles OpenToolStripMenuItem.Click, OpenToolStripButton.Click     Dim OpenFileDialog As New OpenFileDialog     OpenFileDialog.InitialDirectory = My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.MyDocuments     OpenFileDialog.Filter = "Text Files (*.txt)|*.txt|All Files (*.*)|*.*"     If (OpenFileDialog.ShowDialog(Me) = System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK) Then         Dim FileName As String = OpenFileDialog.FileName         ' TODO: Add code here to open the file.     End If End Sub Private Sub SaveAsToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles SaveAsToolStripMenuItem.Click     Dim SaveFileDialog As New SaveFileDialog     SaveFileDialog.InitialDirectory = My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.MyDocuments     SaveFileDialog.Filter = "Text Files (*.txt)|*.txt|All Files (*.*)|*.*"     If (SaveFileDialog.ShowDialog(Me) = System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK) Then         Dim FileName As String = SaveFileDialog.FileName         ' TODO: Add code here to save the current contents of the form to a file.     End If End Sub
