✅ Utilizing the extension filter for openfiledialog

Hello. I'm attempting to use this

openFileDialog.Filter = "txt files (*.txt)|*.txt|All files (*.*)|*.*";

openFileDialog.Filter = "txt files (*.txt)|*.txt|All files (*.*)|*.*";

to filter for text files. However,I get an error that says

'OpenFileDialog' does not contain a definition for 'Filter' and no accessible extension method 'Filter' accepting a first argument of type 'OpenFileDialog' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

. I am on the newest version of the NET SDK,but I'm pretty sure that .Filter wasn't decapricated. What am i doing wrong?

nevermind,figured it out

openFileDialog.Filters.Add(new FileFilter("Text files", ".txt", ".rtf"));

openFileDialog.Filters.Add(new FileFilter("Text files", ".txt", ".rtf"));

is how you can use this properly
