Hello Friends,

I have got confused with one topic

Scenario is such that..

I need to browse a file and copy the file from one location to another..

I am done with the file copying but I need to add the list of all files present under that folder in a control( dont know which control to use) and it shud be a link..so that when the user clicks that link it should open the file with that reader..

Suppose a pdf file shud be opened by the pdf reader..

Similarly I need to access
-> pdf
-> any image file
-> text file

Can anyone help me in this?
