Setting the filter to an OpenFileDialog to allow the typical image formats?

Question

I have this code, how can I allow it to accept all typical image formats? PNG, JPEG, JPG, GIF?

Here\'s what I have so far:

public void EncryptFile()

For images, you could get the available codecs from GDI (System.Drawing) and build your list from that with a little work. This would be the most flexible way to go.

ImageCodecInfo[] codecs = ImageCodecInfo.GetImageEncoders();
