vb.net : OpenDialog which extension gets used

with OpenDialog
suppose you set
..Filter = "Image (*.ico,*.jpg) |*.ico;*.jpg"

...AddExtension = True

Which extension gets tacked on to the name?

Second question

Looking around I've seen all these extensions. Some, like ICON might have
been simply a typo by someone wanting to type ICO

Are they all used in a way that makes the matching correct

JPG;JPEG

TIF;TIFF

ICO;ICON

Thanks

You have a default extension property which you can specify.

OpenFileDialog1.DefaultExt = "*.jpg"

To make it brief I'm afraid I over simplified the string.
Here is a little more of it.
Joint Photographic(*.jpg;*.jpeg)|Tag Image(*.tiff'*.tif)"

do you know if these are all valid extensions to Windows

JPG;JPEG

TIF;TIFF

ICO;ICON

Thanks

Yes, you'll have to specify pairs of display strings and extensions. Check
out the documentation on the 'Filter' property.
