So If any one have the solution of my problem please reply me soon.... I written earlier on this topic shown below... --------------- I am facing a problem of browse folder. Its working fine on loacalhost but when I upload my project into my client's server, the browse folder dialog box does not appears any how. It giving no error but browser progress bar shows progressing.... Is the reason behind this is I have used Shell32.dll for browse folder.. Or there is another way of implementing browse folder functionality on my project.. Thanks following is mine code ------------------------------------------------------- Using shell32; protected void AddFolder_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { string strPath = ""; string strCaption = "Browse a directory for uploading Album."; //DialogResult dlgResult; string dlgResult = ""; Shell32.ShellClass shl = new Shell32.ShellClass(); Shell32.Folder2 fld = (Shell32.Folder2)shl.BrowseForFolder(0, strCaption, 0, System.Reflection.Missing.Value); if (fld == null) { dlgResult = "Cancel";//DialogResult.Cancel; } else { strPath = fld.Self.Path; lstboxFile.Items.Add(strPath); //strPath = "albums\\MSN Home Page"; lstboxFile.Items.Add(strPath); BaydonConstants.hif1.Add(strPath); dlgResult = "Ok";//DialogResult.OK; } } ------------------------------------------------------- Vishnu Narayan Mishra Software Engineer

check this out : running-asp-net-in-a-shared-hosting-environment.aspx[^] There are lots of resources out there, just google.

1. As Bassam Saoud suggested, your hosting might not give the permission to do that. 2. You need to add your website as the trusted site in your IE even your hosting give you the permission... 3. I don't think it's good idea to use Shell32 dll in web application.

Thanks a lot for sharing the nice article. I have just read it. He mentioned about how to change ASP.NET to run under medium trust. but I think the most of ASP.NET hosting doesn't change like that, isn't it? I had some experiences in using DiscountASP.NET last year.. I'm able to access the Access database using Oledb.

WebPermission is restricted. This means your application can only communicate with an address or range of addresses that you define in the element.

Do you have any idea about this line? I'm not very clear with this. Thanks again for sharing the interesting link.

I am afraid my experience with hosting is very limited, The company I work in host their own solutions, so this is never a problem.but AFAIK with Meduim trust you can only connect to SQL Server but I am not sure to be honest.
