Opening Folder Browse Dialog On Client Side

Hi guys,

I am writing a website and I would like to write a user control
(ActiveX? DLL?) that can open the Windows Folder Browse Dialog from
the client.

I do have a user control (a DLL project) that opens the relevant
Dialog box.

I have problems integrating it in my website - I would like users to
use that control (i.e. open and select a folder) from the Web browser.

Please let me know if any of you did something like this before.

Thank you in advance,

Moses

Hi,

I dont know the details, but cant you use the FileUpload control ? It
has the dialog box built in you are talking about.

Thanks,

Sorry, can not use the "File Upload" - I would like my users to pick a
folder and not a specific file.
Unfortunately the "File Upload" allows you to pick a specific file
only.
