You can use FileUpload control.
Check following links for further help-

For the client computer you can't do this, the only browse dialog is for uploading files and the path to the file is not sent to the server, only the filename.

For the server you can't do this either as the browser has no way of communicating with the server's file system. You'd have to implement your own file browser, if you google "asp.net server file browser" you'll probably find sample code.
