drag and drop file upload asp.net or java

Question

i would like the user to be able to drag and drop any file right onto the web form/control/whatever is in the browser and i would want the file to be automatically copied to a specific folder.

is this functionality possible with asp.net?

is there an easier, already existent tool that i can use to do this?

i would also need the feature of the user being able to drag and drop multiple files.

if there is an already existent java solution please let me know!!

please note that i need this to work with IE.

@I__ Do you have a Java question? And note that the first letter of my name is in caps (as is obvious from the text as presented here). — Andrew Thompson

Nothing much to do with ASP.NET

There is a JQuery plugin you can use for drag-n-drop file upload: JQuery DND File Upload

Take a look at HTML5 Drag and Drop Upload and File API Tutorial for IE (only works in IE9 though)

EDIT:

After a little bit of googling, I found Plupload very interesting. It provides HTML5 Drag and Drop file uploader for supported browsers.
