The Common Dialog Control used to have a fact that annoyed
lots of people it doesn't have the Properties for making it
appear in a specific location. But, this can be done with
some quick thinking. With some research, I found out that
the CommonDialog Control will appear in the Top-Left Corner
of its parent. Therefore, if you place it inside a PictureBox
Control, it will appear in the Top Left corner of the Control.
Therefore if you can center the corner of the PictureBox, you
can center the CommonDialog Control as well.
Strip Filename from Full Path You would be required to strip
just the filename from a full path. The following function
will return just the filename, out of the full path.
