Displaying files in a directory

I am developing an ASP.NET 3.5 web application and I have a folder in the project which contains a list of documents which could be pdf or any of the MS office 2003 or 2007 supported file formats. I would like to display these files to my users as thumbnails (just like the way windows displays files). And when the user clicks on a file it has to prompt them to either save the file or open in the browser itself. How can I achieve this?

You can get the files like this (assuming /Documents)

string path = Server.MapPath(@"/Documents");
string[] files = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(path);

And nou you only have to write some HTML generating code to display the files the way you want them displayed.
