[RESOLVED] [2005] WebControl that selects file

Heya everyone,

I've been searchin online for an answer to my issue. My current project is going to feature a lot of rollover buttons, something that doesn't exist as an ASP.NET control. Obviously that left me a market to make one!

I made a quickie one (it is very simple, with a postbackurl, target, and 3 image url's).

I'm trying to do something that I've never done before, however. I'm new to WebControl development, and I want the URL properties (for defining the image on hover, normal, and down), to pop-up that familiar box that allows you to select files from your website. How can I implement that?

"that familiar box"... or maybe not. :D

Which box do you mean? Is it one of the properties?

When you're in design view and you put an ASP.NET image control down and click that little button for the property "ImageURL", a dialog comes up asking you to select a file from the project.

How do I do that? :)

I'm half sure that setting the EditorAttribute attribute on the property you want browsable will work for you, but I have not tested this from a server control. I believe that these attributes work if you're doing it from a server control rather than web user control

Code:

---

<System.ComponentModel.Editor(GetType(System.Drawing.Design.UITypeEditor), GetType(Drawing.Design.UITypeEditor)), System.ComponentModel.Browsable(True), System.ComponentModel.EditorBrowsable(ComponentModel.EditorBrowsableState.Always)> _

---

No, that doesn't work, unfortunately. I'm sure it can be done, but I can't find a way. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

Is it a server control or web user control?

Server control
