Hi All

I want to develop an web application (ASP.NET and C#) that will read image from local computer (Computer of the user browsing that application). While clicking one button in the form, the application should read the image from local computer directory (Directory name is configured). How can I do this. Is it possible to do this either by JAVA SCRIPT or C#

Thanks & Regards

Well, in ASP.NET server side code has access on server machine. They don't have any control on client system - so you cannot use C# server code for the same even if the path is configured.

What is left with you is to use ActiveX file object in Javascript to access client system and files.
To start with, have a look at these: File access via Jsavascript[^]
Link 2[^]
Link 3[^]

Google for more, if needed.
