Hi SAKryukov,
I have taken String attchfilename & an array attchfiles to store the colection of files. But in array i am getting only one file, although i have attached 2 files.

C#

Public Sub btnbrowse_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnbrowse1.Click
    OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog()
    Dim attchfilename as String
    Dim attchfiles(0 To 1) As String
    attchfilename = txtattch1.Text + OpenFileDialog1.FileName.ToString() + ","
    attchfiles = attchfilename.Split(",")
End Sub

Hi Tanzy,

Slight modifications to your OpenFileDialog Code.

<pre lang="c#">
OpenFileDialog Obj = new OpenFileDialog();
Obj.Multiselect = true;
Obj.ShowDialog();
foreach (String item in Obj.FileNames)
{
MessageBox.Show(item);
}</pre>

This should do the trick :)
