Hello,

Does anyone know how I can implement the feature of including a file as an hyperlink into a textbox control. I've played around with the htmlfileinput control but cannot get it to include the file as an hyperlink.

This feature is available in Outlook - when you click on the insert file menu option and navigate through to the folder where the file is, you then select the file and choose Insert as an hyperlink from the drop-down menu - this is the feature which I need.

Kind Regards
 
You can only include a file by using the standard HtmlFileInput as it has to be uploaded to your server first and this is the only method of doing that.

I don't want to upload the file to the Server. I just want the UNC path to the file held within my application - when the user clicks the hyperlink, it opens the file. It's an intranet application.

Thanks
