Hi All,

we are using <input id="testFile" runat="server" type="file" />
control to select file from local machine. A problem with this control
is at a time we can select only single file from 'Choose file'
window.

Here we need multiple file selection option from 'Choose file' window
in my web application.

Please guide me how to implement this functionality.

many thanks,
prashant

All you can do is have multiple <input> boxes and choose each file
individually then post the form and upload them all at the same time. The
only other alternative is some form of java/activex app on the client and
outwith the scope of this group.

Thanks a lot Aidy for your speedy replay.

Can you share some sample links which is useful while creating activeX
app or Java applet ?

thanks,
