Tricky one, folder path picker control

Guys, I need to write a webcontrol that will allow the user to browse to a
mapped folder or shared folder, check to see if they have access perms to
the folder, and then convert the path to a fully qualified unc path to be
saved to a db.

Any ideas how I can do this?

Amit,

You won't be able to do that unless you install an ActiveX control or a
..NET control on the client side (and if you use the .NET control, you might
need special permissions to browse the network as well).

If you can do either of these (both of which require permissions to be
granted on the client in some way), you can easily call out to the directory
browser (through unmanaged code or through .NET).

Hope this helps.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
