Open File Dialog Box

[SAL]

Hello,

Has anyone use the Open File Dialog Box in ASP.net?

I know you can add the HTML File Field control to your ASP page and it will
open the File Dialog Box for you. However, I would like to add a Button to
my ASP page instead that does the same thing. I'm new to ASP.net and C#, so
I'm not sure how I can achieve this. If someone has a code snippet that I
can looked at that does this that would be great

The idea of this is to have the user click my Browse button, and search for
their .csv file, which I will process and upload that data to a SQL Server
Table. I think having a Single Button that says Browse would be cleaner than
having the HTML File Field control that generates Textbox and Browse button
on the page.

Thanks

the input type=file is the only way supported by browsers. if you want a
diffent solution, you will need to write an active/x control that must be
installed.
