When I use streamwriter / streambuilder and open a file on c:xxx, its
opening it on the web server itself. I want to open a text file (and read
from it) on the local user's machine.

Any way to do this in .NET?

Only if you have the user download a WinForms control in the webpage. For
security reasons, this isn't possible to do using ASP.NET.

(That's not strictly true, of course; if you could convince the user to put
your site in the fully trusted zone, you could use assorted ActiveX controls
to do what you want).
