Can I embedd FileUpload in a FormView?

[bogdan]

Hi,

I have a FormView where one of the items is a file name. All items come
from a single data source. I'd like to have the file name also displayed in
a FileUpload control on the same page. Ideally I'd like to have the
FileUpload control embedded in a FormView so the file name appears only once
on the page. Is this possible? What are the alternatives?

Thanks,
Bogdan

The FileUpLoad control used to upload a file to the server. If you
have it already done ("one of the items is a file name") then you can
use a simple Label to show the name of the uploaded file. It's just an
alternative

Thanks for the reply.

I need users to be able to upload a file if needed. So the label is not
sufficient in this case.
What I'd like to do is to embed FileUpload control in a form view (e.g. in
<EditItemTemplate></EditItemTemplate>) and bind a db column to it's
FileName. Currently I have a label bound to the db column and then a
separate FileUpload control without any binding since I have no clue how to
set FileName property of the control - it is read-only.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks,
