'Open dialog' option in a web form?

[nickmollberg]

In a windows form, you can use an 'open dialog' control...
so, you could browse out for, then open a text file and have its contents displayed in a textbox if you wanted to.

Is there similar functionality for a web form?

I need to be able to, from the web form, click an 'open' button, then browse for, and open a text file, passing its contents back to the form to later be parsed.

Anyhow, not finding anything out there on such a control...
anyone ever done this from a web form?

Check out the HtmlInputFile control. Here is a link to the documentation on MSDN which has an example of exactly what you want to do.
