David, this is a great question – and I don’t think there’s an SDK sample yet.

There is no “file upload control” provided with WPF v1, but it is not hard to build one. The elements that you really need to do this are a TextBox, a Button, and an OpenFileDialog, all of which are provided by WPF. The OpenFileDialog is a wrapper over the Win32 dialog, and it lives in the Microsoft.Win32 namespace.

I will write a sample for this after TechEd Boston (which is next week). In the meantime, if you get stuck and have questions, please let me know.

Thanks!

Lauren,

I want to add a file selection control to a page. I have search through the windows sdk samples but don’t see one. Do such controls exist in beta 2?

thanks

Florian, thanks for the reminder — I just posted an update about the Expression Graphic Designer and Interactive Designer CTPs, which also shipped yesterday.

Andrew, the link is working for me. Perhaps is was down temporarily? Please let me know if you are still unable to access it.

The link for windows SDK http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=13F8E273-F5EA-4B7B-B022-97755838DB94&displaylang=en is not working for me.
Is there other way to download it?
