How do I read a file from my Local 'C' Drive??

[DavidKnight]

Hi All;

How do I read a file from my Local 'C' Drive??

The following code reads the Servers 'C' drive!

datagrid.DataSource = Directory.GetFiles("C:\")
datagrid.DataBind()

Thanks David

There are few things required...
Which platform are you using?
Reading files...means directory contents or file contents?
If file contents...Text files or Binary files?

The following code reads the Servers 'C' drive!

That's hardly surprising since the language you are using is Active Server Pages .NET! If you want to access the user's hard drive you are limited in what you can do. You can write an ActiveX component but this will only work if the users accepts the component and they are using Internet Explorer.

Thanks to both responses..

To explain further I'm attempting to have the user copy their documents(Word, Excel, etc) from their local drives to a SQL2000 (server) DB table image.

I have it working but only from the WEB servers path.

Another question might be, How can I copy a users local file to the web server.

Use a file upload control

As ca8msm says...you can use File upload. Here giving the links for both in vb and c#.
