To use OpenFileDialog, I need to use the namespace "System.Windows .Forms".
It doesn't allow me to use this namespace in ASP.net. I get the following
error message:
error CS0234: The type or namespace name 'Windows' does not exist in the
namespace 'System' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

Are you wanting the ability to select and then upload a file? If so, use
the FileUpload control. See http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms227669.aspx for more info on how
to use the control.

I know how to upload a file. What I want to know is how to invoke a file
selection dialog box in ASP.net . I want to be able to select a file.

When you place the FileUpload control on a page it includes a Browse button
that allows for selection of a file. The FileUpload control doesn't
actually upload anything by itself, you have to add extra controls to the
ASP.net page to do the actual upload and save of the file. If you look at
the rendered HTML all it does is put an input element on the page of type
file:
<input type="file">
As I said, when the user clicks the browse button that is put of the file
input element, it will display the file selection dialog. See http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/inputfile.html for some ideas on how you can
customize this type of input.

With FileUpload, how do we retrieve the full pathname of the file selected?

You need to very clear here. The file to be opened for reading is where
exactly? On the client or on the server?

The FileUpload Control is a fairly useless control for the task you
describe. Unfortunately when i tried to create a wrapper for the
OpenFileDialog (Made a DLL to call it) i got an error that
OpenFileDialog will only run if the Assembly is marked [STAThread] or
something similar. After playing around with this and not being able
to get it working i resorted to creating a custom form (I only wanted
to pick from one directory). It is obvious that the FileUpload calls
the OpenFileDialog but i suspect its internet explorer that calls it
and deals with the events. Does anyone know of a better control than
FileUpload?
It would be helpful if you could tell me how to do it either way (client or
server).
Thanks,

Hi,
A Modal Dialog does not allow us to highlight the text content inside
<DIV> tag unless I use a <textarea> tag to display that text content.
However, the situation of my software makes it impossible to use
<textarea> and Modeless dialog. I am really stuck!!!
Is there any trick to make <DIV> or <SPAN>'s content be selectable in a
Modal dialog?

Hey,
I'm currently trying to find a way to open a dialog box that will allow
me to select more than one file at a time, so if I want to upload
select all the files in a directory, I won't have to have the number of
dialog boxes as files in the directory. I was thinking of using a
ActiveX control, but I don't want to make the sure download additional
components to be able to do this, so is there maybe some sort of

As a lot of us might now, the input file (aka browse button) in html does not
allow for multiple file selection or for filtering file types. The File Open

What's the best way to have a modal dialog that will only allow the
selection of a FOLDER, rather than a file? Is there a property of the
openFileDialog I'm missing, or is there another control altogether? I was
thinking of doing it from a treeView, but It seems like there ought to be a
control for this sort of thing!

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