Can anybody show me an examples how do I use OpenFileDialog and
SaveFileDialog in Compact Framework?

I do so but, it doesn't work:

SaveFileDialog saveFileDialog = new SaveFileDialog();
saveFileDialog.Filter = "Text files (*.txt)";
if (saveFileDialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
txtFileTextBox.Text = saveFileDialog.FileName;
 
You can just drag and drop them on your form. What, exactly, are you saying
that the problem is? The dialog never appears or what?

If you read the help on that property, you'll see that you are setting it
wrong...

This is a valid format:
openFileDialog1.Filter = "txt files (*.txt)|*.txt|All files (*.*)|*.*" ;

From the MSDN documentation:
Remarks
For each filtering option, the filter string contains a description of the
filter, followed by the vertical bar (|) and the filter pattern. The
strings for different filtering options are separated by the vertical bar.

The following is an example of a filter string: "Text files
(*.txt)|*.txt|All files (*.*)|*.*"
