Question

I have being trying to display the filenames for the multiple files that have been opened using the file dialog. I have been doing this by a for loop but I have had no luck.

foreach (string value in openFileDialog.SafeFileNames)
      Console.WriteLine(value);

This is the right way to iterate through your selected filenames.

Check if your user has NOT cancelled the dialog with System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK

if (openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() == System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK)
{
    foreach (string fileName in openFileDialog1.SafeFileNames)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(fileName);
    }
}
