How to use FileDialog to select either specific files names extensions or all the files?

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            VistaOpenFileDialog dialog = new VistaOpenFileDialog();
            {
                dialog.Filter = "Images (*.jpg, *.bmp, *.gif)|*.jpg;*.bmp;*.gif";
                dialog.Filter = "All Files (*.*)|*.*";
            };

            if (dialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
            {
                textBox1.Text = dialog.FileName;

                Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(Image.FromFile(dialog.FileName),
                    pictureBox2.Width, pictureBox2.Height);
                pictureBox2.Image = bmp;
            }
        }

I'm using ookii package with VistaOpenFileDialog but i guess the idea should be the same as with the regular OpenFileDialog class.

now when i click it's showing the All Files option when i expand it i can't see the first option Images.

i want that it will show first the Images option and then to be able to switch the All Files.

You are overwriting your filter property. To add multiple file type filters:

dialog.Filter = "Images (*.jpg, *.bmp, *.gif)|*.jpg;*.bmp;*.gif|All Files (*.*)|*.*";
