Retrieving FILES from my MySQLdb using a dropdown

    Has anyone got an idea how I can download files from (or through) my MySQLdb by selecting the name from a dropdown list?
    I'm building an aspx-page using VB and I want TWO things:


    1. Populate the dropdown from the MySQLdb, and
    2. be able to download files by selecting it in the list, perhaps with an additional "download-button".


    Do I have to convert the file names to  URL:s in the db (how?), as I know I can do in Access? Would I have to use a JavaScript or something to retrieve the files, perhaps, or should I use some CustomControl (and convert to CS)?
    The db is located on an external server (ISP), and so are the files...


    A tricky one, isn't it?
