Question

I am developing a web page that displays a report. The report gets updated monthly and I would like the option to display the previous reports as well as the current one. I don’t even know where to begin with this and I am hoping for suggestions. All I can think of off the top of my head is to somehow display all of the reports in the directory in a DropDownList (if that’s possible).

Any advice is appreciated.

Regards.

Answer 1

Use the Directory.GetFiles method to get the list of files in your directory.

You can then use this list as a datasource for your DropDownList control

var fileList = Directory.GetFiles("path to your dir");
DropDownList ddl = new DropDownList();
ddl.DataSource = fileList;
ddl.DataBind();
