how to create Save File Dialog Box in user control ?

Question

Hi.. I want to open a file dialog box in user control. i used "using System.Windows.Forms;" but still i can't access SaveFileDialog class. Can anybody tell me how to do this? Thanx.

Answer 1

You cannot use SaveFileDialog in asp.net (if I look at the tags of the question).

It seems you want to let the uset click on some button to download a file and prompt the user to save it.

If that is a correct assumption, see the accepted answer at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/338616/with-just-a-plain-html-and-js-file-how-can-i-force-a-link-to-an-mp3-to-download

Answer 2

<input type=file>

or

<asp:FileUpLoad id="FileUpLoad1" runat="server" />

might be what you have in mind. It will let the user upload a file as part of the POST.
