Selecting a File Name From The Server

Is there a control I can use to retrieve a file name from the server?

I am writing a custom feature that needs to locate a file on the server.  I only need the file name.  I tried using the FileBrowserTextBoxExtender and while it lets me browse the server I can't find a way to retrieve the file name of the file selected file.  I press the "Select" button but it doesn't appear to do anything. I was hoping it would fill in the text box with the selected file name.

Is there another way I can retrieve a file name via a file browser?

Re: Selecting a File Name From The Server

FileBrowserTextBoxExtender will return the virtual path to the file. But you have to wire it up in code to the textbox you want to populate like this:

fileBrowser.TextBoxClientId = txtUrl.ClientID;

It needs the client id of the textbox so it can wire up javascript that populates the textbox with the path to the file.

Hope that helps,

Joe
