Hi, I am trying to create a page so the user can browse the network,
select a file and have that file name (text) inserted into our sql DB
so I can build the hyperlink path later on.
Here's what seems to be the problem. These are video files and are
enormous with long crazy names so trying to hand type the file name in
a text box is not an option. So I'm using an Input "file" control so
when the user browses out onto the network (Z:\drive\videos), gets the
file path into the Input file text box and then hits the insert control
to process the filename it bombs because the files are too huge
(100+MB). I just want to get the name to a string and not actually get
the file.
MyFile.PostedFile.FileName is great but it seems to have to process the
file and not just give me the text of the file after I browsed.
If this makes any sense, any help would be great. Thanks K
