SaveFileDialog closes automatically directly after calling showDialog()

Thx for your advises @DannyJames and @ChrisDunaway.

Somehow I could figure out (with both of my questions and your answers) that the SaveFileDialog.ShowDialog(Me) needs a reference to the Form Me.

Only then the SaveFileDialog will load properly without errors or even cancels its call without any other user-action.

Unfortunately I put the download-part into a vb-class that hasn't been inherited by Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form, so that it hasn't a reference to a Form (which obviously needs to be required).

I changed my code, so that I have references to forms (so, that I could use the reference to a form, such as Me in form-class). And it works like a charm.

For completion here's such an example:
