SaveFileDialog Box Filetype Filter

[MZimmerman6]

I have a pretty quick question. When adding a saveFileDialog box, how can I filter it so it only searches for certain file types. Namely XML. If found something online that looked like:

saveFileDialog1 .Filter = "DAT31-8 Files (*.N31)|*.xml|A ll Files (*.*)|*.*" ;

but editting that does not really help me any

I imagine it is a fairly easy fix, but can not find any documentation on it. Thanks for your help in advance.

The filter string isn't all that intuitive.
Basically it's making pairs by the | divider
Consider this filter string: "All Files (*.*)|*.*"
The first part "All Files (*.*)" is the displayed portion in the filter selection of the dialog box, while the second part "*.*" is the actual filter supplied.
You need two parts for each entry you want in the filter selection.

In your case, for 3 entries you might want:
[code=C#]

saveFileDialog1 .Filter = "DAT31-8 Files (*.N31)|*.N31|X ML Files (*.XML)|*.xml|A ll Files (*.*)|*.*" ;
