  I am tring to create an array list of files selected form the OpenFileDialog class in the order that the files were selected. The problem is that the .FileNames property returns a string array of the selected files in numberical order (all except the last selected file). That is, if I select the following file names (while holding down the ctrl key) in the order of:
  

  
  5.myfile
  3.myfile
  1.myfile
  2.myfile
  

  
  The array returned from the .FileNames property is:
  

  
  1.myfile
  3.myfile
  5.myfile
  2.myfile
  

  
  I would like to select all the files I want at the same time and in the order I selected them. Can anyone suggest another way? I would rather not create a whole new class for file select because I am new to C#, this is my first program in C#.
  

  
  Thanks,
