OpenFileDialogBox on Web Page

[Michael Murphy]

Hi,
Looking for some help with an web page based OpenFile Dialog Box. At this time all I really need is the path and the filename so I can stuff it in a database field. Any pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Michael

I would just use the input file HTML object. Once the page is submitted you
can pull all sorts of attributes off the file including name and path from
the PostedFile object. You don't have to save it anywhere unless you want to.

FileName = GetFileNameFromPath(txtPDF_Loc.PostedFile.FileName);
FileSize = txtPDF_Loc.PostedFile.ContentLength;
txtPDF_Loc.PostedFile.SaveAs(DocLoc + FileName);

Thanks for your post, but if I use the html file input control how do i get an event to fire when the user selects the file?

Nevermind, I found that you have to use a Submit input control. Not the way I wanted to do it, but it works--Thanks!

Check the docs for System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlInputFile. You'll be
able to retrieve an HttpPostedFile instance to manipulate the uploaded
file.

If you are just using a path, then the code only works when the
browser is on the same machine as the web server!
