OpenFileDialog doesn't show

5

I have this simple code:

private void buttonOpen_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
    {
        textBox2.Text = openFileDialog1.FileName;
    }
}

When I run program form doesn't show and exit of debugging mode.

In output view writes:The program '[4244] openfiledialog.vshost.exe: Managed (v4.0.30319)' has exited with code 1073741855 (0x4000001f).

I have Visual Studio 2010 Professional.

     private void InitializeComponent()
    {
        this.openFileDialog1 = new System.Windows.Forms.OpenFileDialog();

As a general rule I initialize and use my OpenFileDialog's within the event that is calling it. I can't think of a circumstance in which I would want it to be a property of my window. The first thing I would do is delete it as a property and initialize it in your event.

private void buttonOpen_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    using (OpenFileDialog openFileDialog1 = new OpenFileDialog())
    {
        if (openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
        {
            textBox2.Text = openFileDialog1.FileName;
        }
    }
}

You don't need to set the FileName property to anything because the dialog will do it for you.

The only thing I found on your error code was this (Program and debugger quit without indication of problem). Which in your current code I cannot find anything that would cause this. If you are accessing unmanaged code you may need to enable unmanaged code debugging.
