OpenFileDialog looks different in different projects

I'm trying a sample application from the book Sams Teach Yourself WPF in 24 Hours. I have typed pretty much the same code as the one that I have downloaded from their website.

There's a part where it uses the OpenFileDialog class. I'm developing in Windows 7, Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate. I think the system that the authors used was different.

Here are the snapshots of the OpenFileDialogs on my computer:

OpenFileDialog in my project OpenFileDialog in the downloaded project

The first one is the snapshot of OpenFileDialog in my project, and the second one is of the downloaded project (again, they have almost exactly the same code).

I thought that it was because the downloaded version was compiled in another version of Windows, hence the difference. But it is the same, even when I compile it on my computer.

What causes the difference?

Edit: I've tried deleting the obj and bin folders in the solution directory, and rebuild the files. Still the windows are different.

The project is probably targetting a different framework

Right click on project > properties > application

You have two different OpenFileDialog in different namespaces.

  • Microsoft.Win32.OpenFileDialog
  • System.Windows.Forms.OpenFileDialog : WinForms dialog you can also use in your WPF projects

Check which one your are using in your project.
