FolderBrowerDialog for Web Forms

Greetings,

I have a "newbie" question. Is there any control available for a web
form (in VB.NET 2003) that is analagous to the "FolderBrowserDialog"
control for a Windows form? I'm wanting to create a web application
that will allow the user to select a directory and I wasn't sure how to
go about it on a web form. I have created something for the user using
a Windows form, but don't see a similar control for a web form. Any
ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

On of the things a webform does not because of security reason, already long
before the hype it is now, is give access to the disk. That was why VBS was
so cut down, while javascript has forever been like that.

You can use so called Rich elements (just by instance the windowsforms
controls) but then you have in fact all the aspects from a windowsform
again.
