Hi,

does someone know, how i can use the OpenFileDialog from MS-Office in a .Net application.

Thanks in advance


edit:
i found a solution. but i'm not happy with it because i have to make a isntance of a office app (here i took access).

Microsoft.Office.Interop.Access.ApplicationClass app = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Access.ApplicationClass();
Microsoft.Office.Core.FileDialog ofd = app.get_FileDialog(Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoFileDialogType.msoFileDialogOpen);
ofd.Show();

;

Any ideas about .get_FileDialog? Maybe there's a COM lib which i could use directly instead of let the Office app call the constructor?

edit2:
this is not possible with the normal Office.Interop (see answers below). But maybe Microsoft used an AcitveX-Object or something for the dialog (because it's reused in every Office-App). IF so i could reuse it too.

Maybe someone know were the "places" are located in the registry?

Thanks in advance for any help
