Hi,
I'm fairly new to .net, but have created a nifty little widget for pocket pc's. To get the widget onto the pocket pc, a user would go to an asp webpage, select the files they wanted to download (widget and an additional file/just the additional file/user manual) and click the download button.
The additional file is being created from database information when the user clicks the download button. That's handled server-side (simply creating an xml file). I wanted a browse folder dialog box to appear on client side so they could specify the path they wanted to download the files to. I cant use an open or save as file dialog box because the user is required to select a specific file, and this simply isn't what i want the user to do, especially because a file may not exist yet in a folder they choose.
My problem is, im trying to open a browse folder dialog box on the server-side... when its supposed to be opening on the client side. the site i was using that apparently gets around this problem is http://www.netomatix.com/FolderBrowser.aspx but my page ends up freezing when idListPtr = Win32SDK.SHBrowseForFolder(bi); that line tries to execute.
Any help here would be great... i've tried using a javascript option with no success, so any other methods would be appreciated as well. Thanks!
