Hello,

If any idea then share with me .

thanks in advance

What I have tried:

TreeNode onjParent = new TreeNode("D:\\", "D:\\");
                onjParent.PopulateOnDemand = true;
                TreeView1.Nodes.Add(onjParent);

private TreeNode AddNodes(string path, TreeNode parentNode)
        {
            FileList objList = new FileList(path, "*.*");
            TreeNode node = new TreeNode(path, path);
            for (int index = 0; index < objList.Directories.Length; index++)
            {
                string directory = objList.Directories[index];
                TreeNode objChildNode = new TreeNode(directory, path + "\\" + directory + "\\");
                objChildNode.PopulateOnDemand = true;
                objChildNode.Target = "_blank";

                parentNode.ChildNodes.Add(objChildNode);
            }

It shows mi directory structure but it shows server directory after hosting

The Application which you have hosted in the IIS will have the permission to access only the project folder. It cannot access any other directory, this is how IIS works.

Since it is hosted in server, that will show only the server path.

thanks sir for reply

but In my web application user has browse and download Button when it click on browse button then it requires folder selection for download all files in same folder.

Karthik_Mahalingam 25-Feb-17 6:38am

he wil be able to browse only the client machine folder, not the server folder..

SujataJK 25-Feb-17 6:58am

exactly.. but how to do that?

Karthik_Mahalingam 25-Feb-17 7:00am

just click and browse using file upload control.

SujataJK 25-Feb-17 7:12am

but file upload does not provide folder selection functionality.We can just select file i want folder selection.

Karthik_Mahalingam 25-Feb-17 7:13am

due to security reasons, it is not possible.

SujataJK 25-Feb-17 7:24am

Karthik_Mahalingam 25-Feb-17 7:26am

SujataJK 25-Feb-17 7:25am

Karthik_Mahalingam 25-Feb-17 7:27am
