Hi: I don't understand well the exceptions here, but perhaps it was well. I use more simple code.
I see in gtkmm, ruby/gnome and obvioulsy in the C API: GTK# sample: http://www.go-mono.com/docs/index.aspx?link=T%3aGtk.FileFilter Ruby sample: http://ruby-gnome2.sourceforge.jp/hiki.cgi?Gtk%3A%3AFileChooserDialog GTKMM sample: http://www.gtkmm.org/docs/gtkmm-2.4/docs/tutorial/html/sec-dialogs-filechooserdialog.html ruby and c++ have exceptions like c# but they don't use it here. For me the C API is always my reference: http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/2.11/GtkFileChooserDialog.html I test this simple code to solve your problem i think: protected virtual void OnButton1Clicked (object sender, System.EventArgs e) { FileChooserDialog fc=new FileChooserDialog("hola mundo",this, FileChooserAction.Open, "Abort", ResponseType.Cancel, "Open", ResponseType.Accept); Gtk.FileFilter filter=new Gtk.FileFilter(); filter.Name="C/C++ files"; filter.AddPattern("*.cc"); fc.AddFilter(filter); if (fc.Run()==(int)ResponseType.Accept) { System.Console.Write("filename is {0} \n",fc.Filename); } fc.Destroy(); fc=new FileChooserDialog("hola mundo",this, FileChooserAction.Open, "Abort", ResponseType.Cancel, "Open", ResponseType.Accept); if (fc.Run() ==(int)ResponseType.Accept) { System.Console.Write("filename is {0} \n",fc.Filename); } fc.Destroy(); } can this help you?
