Show Dialog Box to select an image in Visual Basic

  • 772

I have the following code to search for an image on my PC from a Visual Basic form and then save it in a Database, but I only get one error when opening the dialog box that searches for the image. The code is the following:

Private Sub AbrirImagen()
    Dim filename As String
    Dim openfiler As New OpenFileDialog
    With openfiler
        .InitialDirectory = "C:\"
        .Filter = "Archivos de imágen(*.jpg)|*.jpg|All Files (*.*)|*.*"
        .FilterIndex = 1
        .RestoreDirectory = True
    End With

    If openfiler.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then  
        filename = openfiler.FileName
        Me.PictureBox1.Image = Image.FromFile(filename)
    End If
End Sub

In the part that says Windows.FormsI get the following error:

'Forms' is not a member of 'Windows'

Could you help me? I work in Visual Studio 2015

vb.net
