Need to create a folder dialog where I can select one folder in a vb.net/asp.net app

Hi

Please use the below code

First create a FolderBrowserDialog object
Dim FolderBrowserDialog1 As New FolderBrowserDialog
 
' Then use the following code to create the Dialog window
' Change the .SelectedPath property to the default location
With FolderBrowserDialog1
    ' Desktop is the root folder in the dialog.
    .RootFolder = Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop
    ' Select the C:\Windows directory on entry.
    .SelectedPath = "c:\windows"
    ' Prompt the user with a custom message.
    .Description = "Select the source directory"
    If .ShowDialog = DialogResult.OK Then
        ' Display the selected folder if the user clicked on the OK button.
        MessageBox.Show(.SelectedPath)
    End If
End With

this is a web app  (vb.net/asp.net)

isn't folder browser dialog a winforms control ?

did you want to create the folder in server or on client machine ?

I want to select (not create) the folder on the client machine

then there is a control available file browser. just place it in your page.

open the tool box, and use File Upload"

File upload is the behavior I want as far as being able to navigate thru files, but the end result is to select a file. I want to select a directory, then do something (doesn't matter) to files in that directory.


I am not sure where to find "file browser" , it's not in my toolbox and not available to be added ("choose items")

which version of visual studio is you are using ?
the attached image is from vs 2008 ide.

there is no direct method to open the folder.
you can follow the below links
