Reading content of an xml file to asp.net

[jkdil33]

Hi,

I have a problem

I want to save the values in user controls(textboxes) to an XML file(If not to text file)
I want this to be done when client clicks on save data button

I want to read the values in XML file(If not to text file) to user controls(textboxes)
I want this to be done when client clicks on load data button

Can i do this with filedialog control(I checked but didnt find filedialog controls for webforms)?

Or is there any other options?

Please help
Thanks in advance

hi

You should use "asp:FileUpload" control
in asp.net 2.0 or ordinary input control with type file in asp.net 1.x insted of filedialog control
