OpenFileDialog in asp

Is there a way to use this code with vb.net asp ?? The problem is there is no OpenFileDialog control in vb.net asp. Can I get around this ?

take a look at the OpenFileDialog and the System.IO.StreamReader / StreamWriter classes , here's an example i knocked up for you ...

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim oDialog As New OpenFileDialog()
        Dim sReader As IO.StreamReader '/// to open the file for reading
        Dim sWriter As IO.StreamWriter '/// to write to the file

        Dim strText As String

        With oDialog
            .InitialDirectory = "C:\"
            .Filter = "textfiles|*.txt"
            If .ShowDialog = DialogResult.OK Then
                sReader = New IO.StreamReader(New IO.FileStream(.FileName, IO.FileMode.Open))
                While Not sReader.Peek = -1
                    strText += sReader.ReadLine.Substring(1) & Environment.NewLine '/// append each line of your file's text Minus the first character to a string buffer.
                End While
                sReader.Close() '/// close the opened file.

                sWriter = New IO.StreamWriter(.FileName, False) '/// False will overwrite the existing file.
                sWriter.Write(strText)
                sWriter.Close()
            End If
        End With
    End Sub
