I have a strange problem. In my main application openfiledialog or
savefiledialog is not showing. But the same code works when I create a
sample application and paste the code there.
Here is the code
OpenFileDialog dlg = new OpenFileDialog();
dlg.DefaultExt ="xml";
dlg.Filter="XML Files|*.xml";
dlg.ShowDialog();

why is that it is not opening in my main application but works in sample
test applications?

some guesses:
a) the code is not being called.
b) another modal dialog is already open

Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Ram,

Could you post a short, complete program that demonstrates the
problem?
