    I would like to use the file selector dialog demo to store the file path in a databound text box in a formview.

    My current code looks like this.  How can I change it to store the path in my databound file location textbox?

    1 <asp:FormView ID="fvAddBidDoc" runat="server" DataKeyNames="id" DataSourceID="dsAddBidDoc" 
    2         DefaultMode="Insert">  
    3  
    4         <InsertItemTemplate> 
    5             <table class="style1">  
    6                 <tr> 
    7                     <td> 
    8                         Document Number:</td> 
    9                     <td> 
    10                         <asp:TextBox ID="DocumentNumberTextBox" runat="server"   
    11                             Text='<%# Bind("DocumentNumber") %>' /> 
    12                     </td> 
    13                     <td> 
    14                         Document Name:</td> 
    15                     <td> 
    16                         <asp:TextBox ID="DocumentNameTextBox" runat="server"   
    17                             Text='<%# Bind("DocumentName") %>' /> 
    18                     </td> 
    19                 </tr> 
    20                 <tr> 
    21                     <td> 
    22                         Posting Date:  
    23                         <%--<asp:TextBox ID="PostingDateTextBox" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("PostingDate") %>' />--%></td>  
    24                     <td>

    Hi Bslaght,

    You can achieve the desired result such as in the online demo, but you need to get a reference to that text box first. This is a common ASP.NET task and for your convenience I pasted the modified OnFileSelected function below :

    //This function is called from the Explorer.aspx page   
    function OnFileSelected(wnd, fileSelected) 
    { 
        var textbox = $get('<%= fvAddBidDoc.FindControl("FileLocationTextBox").ClientID %>'); 
        textbox.value = fileSelected; 
    }  

    I hope this helps.

    All the best,
