how to loop through a directory and hyperlink to all files

[mrmagoo]

I want to loop through a directory and list all files in hyperlinks. Then
when you click on a hyperlink, it opens the file in whatever application it
needs. For now I need to do this with Adobe Acrobat, but I'd like to know
how to do this for Excel, etc.

Can anyone show me some code? I've looked on google and found only
fragments, surprisingly.

You can easily recurse a directory and its subdirectories, dispalying the
file paths etc. Wrapping them in hyperlinks is only a case of surrounding
the results with the relevent text for a hyperlink.

This will help you get started.

I actually wrote a usercontrol which binds the contents of a directory
to a datagrid (ASP.NET 1.1) and displays the files and folders with
clickable links. Its late for me now, but I'll try to post some code
tomorrow.

Email me to remind me.
