Folder browser object in ASP.net

[Suj_78]

Hi Does any one know whether ASP.net has Folder Browser object. I know that windows application has got Folder browser object, i am looking for something similar in ASP.net so that when a user clicks a button to load a file to the web server, then a folder browser opens up. Can anyone help???? Your help will be highly appreciated.

happy coding!

From my openion use html control instead of ASP control because you are going to upload the file from client to server and make it run at server ok for html use this one

hi i have the code for you void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { // Get the HtmlInputFile control from the Controls collection // of the PlaceHolder control. HtmlInputFile file = (HtmlInputFile)Place.FindControl("File1"); // HtmlInputFile file = new HtmlInput HtmlInputFile(); // file.Value="@\\hd-yogeshv\Yogesh\sample.txt"; // Make sure a file was submitted. if (Text1.Value == "") { Span1.InnerHtml = "Error: you must enter a file name"; return; } // Save file to server. if (file.PostedFile != null) { try { file.PostedFile.SaveAs("c:\\MyPoc\\"+Text1.Value); Span1.InnerHtml = "File uploaded successfully to " + "<b>c:\\MyPoc\\" + Text1.Value + "</b> on the Web server"; } catch (Exception exc) { Span1.InnerHtml = "Error saving file <b>c:\\temp\\" + Text1.Value + "</b><br>" + exc.ToString(); } } } void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { // Create a new HtmlInputFile control. HtmlInputFile file = new HtmlInputFile(); file.ID = "File1"; // Add the control to the Controls collection of the // PlaceHolder control. Place.Controls.Clear(); Place.Controls.Add(file); }

HtmlInputFile Constructor Example

Specify the file to upload:Save as file name (no path):
