asked on

File open dialog box, ASP.Net/C#

On my web page, I want to let the user be able to browse for a file and select it. The file should be either on his client or on his network. I will in my ASP parse the content of the file. The user should be presented the File open dialog box to pick his file.

I am using ASP.Net with C# as the code behind.

you have to add
<input type="file" runat="server" id="fDocument">
when you click on the Browse button and select a file then click button and submit the page

then you can use fDcoument.PostedFile.SaveAs method to store it on your hard disk
or
fDocument.PostedFile.InputStream property to ( from MSDN ): Gets a Stream object which points to an uploaded file to prepare for reading the contents of the file.

Where should I put this code?

Could you please describe to code I have to put into my ASP-file and the code I have to put into my c-sharp file? How do I present the user for the file open (or file chooser, don't now which name is correct) dialog box?

but it is HtmlInputFile control

i want to get the code for browse the file of the windows folders and get the selected file just like as a open file dialogbox , iwand to implement it in asp.net with c# .it is urjent
From the windows forms toolbar in Visual STudio C# design form, drag the OpenFileDialog-widget to the form. Add a browse button to the form and use this code (exerpt):

        private System.Windows.Forms.Button btnBrowse;
        private System.Windows.Forms.OpenFileDialog openExtensFile;


private void btnBrowse_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
        {
            OpenFileDialog openExtensFile = new OpenFileDialog();
            openExtensFile.Title = "C#" ;
            openExtensFile.InitialDirectory = @"c:\" ;
            openExtensFile.Filter = "All files (*.*)|*.*|All files (*.*)|*.*" ;
            openExtensFile.FilterIndex = 2 ;
            openExtensFile.RestoreDirectory = true ;
            if(openExtensFile.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
            {
               // textBox1.Text = fdlg.FileName ;
            }
        }
