Remarks

Windows Vista provides a new style of common file dialog, with several new features (both from the user's and the programmers perspective).

This class will use the Vista-style file dialogs if possible, and automatically fall back to the old-style dialog on versions of Windows older than Vista. This class is aimed at applications that target both Windows Vista and older versions of Windows, and therefore does not provide any of the new APIs provided by Vista's file dialogs.

This class precisely duplicates the public interface of OpenFileDialog so you can just replace any instances of OpenFileDialog with the VistaOpenFileDialog without any further changes to your code.

Thread Safety
Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
