HTML Controls w/ .Net

[wtbonnell]

I have a basic input tag:

<input type="file">

 

How would you read the value within the code behind page (I am using C#, but any lang will do)?

 

I tried making the input tag a server control:

<input type="file" runat="server" id="html_Browser">

but that did not seem to help within the code behind page. It is easy for server side contols (such as <asp:Label> because all I would do is just

lableName.Text 

to retrieve the value...any ideas with HTML Controls?!?!

 

Thanks

Give the input an ID...

 

<input id="txt1" type="file" name="txt1" runat="server">

 

Then make sure that the code-behind declares it as a System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlInputFile

 

HtmlInputFile txt1;
