I used the solution presented by Gregor S. and it works well, although I had to convert it to a VB.NET solution, here is my conversion if it helps anyone...

Imports System
Imports Microsoft.Win32

Public Class OpenFileDialogEx
    Public Shared ReadOnly FilterProperty As DependencyProperty = DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached("Filter", GetType(String), GetType(OpenFileDialogEx), New PropertyMetadata("All documents (.*)|*.*", Sub(d, e) AttachFileDialog(DirectCast(d, TextBox), e)))
    Public Shared Function GetFilter(element As UIElement) As String
        Return DirectCast(element.GetValue(FilterProperty), String)
    End Function

    Public Shared Sub SetFilter(element As UIElement, value As String)
        element.SetValue(FilterProperty, value)
    End Sub


    Private Shared Sub AttachFileDialog(textBox As TextBox, args As DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs)
        Dim parent = DirectCast(textBox.Parent, Panel)
        AddHandler parent.Loaded, Sub()

          Dim button = DirectCast(parent.Children.Cast(Of Object)().FirstOrDefault(Function(x) TypeOf x Is Button), Button)
          Dim filter = DirectCast(args.NewValue, String)
            AddHandler button.Click, Sub(s, e)
               Dim dlg = New OpenFileDialog()
               dlg.Filter = filter
               Dim result = dlg.ShowDialog()
               If result = True Then
                   textBox.Text = dlg.FileName
               End If
            End Sub
        End Sub
    End Sub
End Class
