Do you use WPF?
or what do you use?
Normally no but I want to make something that looks modern in wpf
the framework that is
Yeah, WPF comes with its own MessageBox, please use that.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/desktop/wpf/windows/how-to-open-message-box
and if you have a modern project (.NET), you can edit it to not include Windows Forms
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/project-sdk/msbuild-props-desktop#usewindowsforms
Just remove this property if it exists
I see, it seems I had tried to use OpenFileDialog from winforms and its causing issues
I missed the fact that theres already a wpf version of it
Thanks

Ill have to upgrade my .NET version tho
Microsoft has an assistant to upgrade a project from .NET Framework to .NET if you use that.
It's not bug-free so make sure you have a backup!
