This is a valid format:
openFileDialog1.Filter = "txt files (*.txt)|*.txt|All files (*.*)|*.*" ;
From the MSDN documentation:
Remarks
For each filtering option, the filter string contains a description of the
filter, followed by the vertical bar (|) and the filter pattern. The
strings for different filtering options are separated by the vertical bar.
The following is an example of a filter string: "Text files
(*.txt)|*.txt|All files (*.*)|*.*"
