HtmlInputFile control problem

Hi,

Any one can help me out in this regard? The problem is:
After selecting the file using HtmlInputFile Control(Browse option), how to
set selected value(File path) between different postbacks? Because as we know
we can't set the value properity as it is get properity. So if any hack is
there please let me know.

If there is any hack, it will only work in a single browser, and it will
stop working as soon as the author of the browser is able to fix it.
Allowing anybody else than the user to select the file for upload would
be a serious security hole.

There is no legitimate way of using an HtmlInputFile to get a file from
the visitors computer without the visitor explicitly selecting the file
for upload.

The file will be sent to the server when the form is posted. You have to
take care of the file data at that moment, otherwise the user has to
upload the file again.

Can I use HtmlInputFile to only get the selected file name but not actually upload the file? Clicking the control's Browse button let's the user select a file. All I need is the HtmlInputFile Value property. However, any button clicked on the Html page results in uploading the selected file. Is there a way to avoid the actual uploading? Alternatively, is there any other way to let a user select a file name from his local disk?

I have an application that uses FreeTextBox 2.0 (http://www.freetextbox.com). FreeTextBox is a rich text editor that behaves similarly to MS Word. The FreeTextBox control has a button to insert images (just as you would with MS Word) and it works beautifully. The problem is that when you include an image with the rich text editor, the image path is the local path on the client. I have written a method that examines the text for <img> tags,...

I have a System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlInputFile control that I use to submit files. After the file is successfully submitted, I want the field to be reset so that the user knows the file was submitted.
