    Help! Browse folder option in asp.net (C#) - The code does not wor

    I am trying to browse folders through the following piece of code.
    Please let me know if there is any kind of setting to get this working
    right?


    using shell32.dll;
    Shell32.ShellCl ass shl = new Shell32.ShellCl ass();
    Shell32.Folder2 fld = (Shell32.Folder 2)shl.BrowseFor Folder(0, "Show Folder",
    0, System.Reflecti on.Missing.Valu e);
    txtFolderName.T ext = fld.Self.Path ;

    Thanks in advance.

    Regards,

    Jay

      The C# side of ASP.NET runs at the server, but I'm guessing you want this to
      appear at the client - in which case you need to limit yourself to [d]html
      and javascript etc. Normally this means an <input type="file"/>. You can do
      more, but it involves running something addition at the client - such as an
      ActiveX control or Silverlight (which actually has pretty good support for
      secure file browsing, from what I've seen...).
