File upload using asp.net and c#.net?

hi,


i have to write code for uploading and downloading files for my website. i was successful in doing this. I am using GridView control to show the files which are in my webserver. The way now i am showing the files is





filename ----- select link


eg: abc.doc ----- select





so when user clicks this select link he will be able to download the file.


But what i want is , if the user directly clicks the file name he should be able to download the file. I am not sure how to do this using GridView control. i dont want the select link beside the filename.





eg: abc.txt





Any help will be appreciated.

The ASP .NET FileUpload control will take care of things. To download, you can use the webclient class in .NET. Some programmers roll their own download, because it is a matter of setting the http header and then sending a stream of bytes (binary for jpegs, for instance).





A nice example of full fledges download/upload controls and folder management in asp .net appeared in asp .net pro - May 2007 "Build a web based briefcase". Take a look.
