Hi,

I am looking for a control that is similar to OpenFileDialog in Windows

control can pop up for the user to open a file. Please give directions.
Thanks.

There is also a .Net HtmlInputFile Control that you can use for this. Here
is alink to an article that describes the HtmlInputFile Control and how to
use it:
