  Sniper, I think you need to start from first principles - and take a beginner tutorial or so - what are you trying to do

  For someone "asking" for help, I think a response in the same day is quite good.  And with responses like that, you sure won't be getting any help from me or anyone who works for me.

  Not to defend the tone, but as an extreme beginner, he asked the same question in this thread three days earlier

  http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=187793&SiteID=1

  so that's what he probably meant.  As a beginner he probably didn't realize that asking the same question in two separate threads is considered bad form.

  Ok, it appears you are trying to program in C++/CLI (managed using .NET Framework).  Follow these steps:

  1) Create a new project: Visual C++ - CLR - Windows Forms Application

  2) A blank form should pop up on screen.

  3) Click on the toolbox, and click on common controls, then button.

  4) Now click on the blank form and place a button.

  5) Double click on the button.

  6) Now copy and paste the following code into your handler (i.e. just below the System::Void button1_Click(System::Object^  sender, System::EventArgs^  e) { )  :

     //we use OpenFileDialog to show a file-open dialog box
     OpenFileDialog CommonDialog;
     CommonDialog.Title = "Select Map";

     CommonDialog.Multiselect = true;
     CommonDialog.CheckFileExists = true;
     CommonDialog.Filter = "Map Files (*.map)|*.map|All Files(*.*)|*.*";
     CommonDialog.FilterIndex = 2;

     //if user has clicked on the OK button
     if(CommonDialog.ShowDialog()== System::Windows::Forms::DialogResult::OK)
     {  // do something here 
     }
  

  7) Compile your application, and run it.

  8) Press the button.

  9) Now your OpenFileDialog will appear!

  Im new at this and I'm just trying to make an Open File Window that will allow me to open a .map file on my computer and then when I select it it will appear in my OpenFileDialog that I have on my program. And trust me, I've tryed to take a tutorial but nobody has one in Visual C++ Express 2005 they're all in VC 3.0 or VC 6.0 which is really old! If you know of a tutorial in Visual C++ Express Edition, let me in on it.
