  Good evening. We are using radupload. And we have set the max filesize at 1GB. If the filesize for the file to be uploaded exceeds this limit., "Page not found" error is displayed. Is there any way we can find the filesize before it is uploaded, to make sure it does not exceed this limit,in order to avoid this error? May be some validation on OnClientFileSelected event of radupload control. Please let us know.
  Thanks
  Anil

  Hi Anil,
  
  Yes, it is possible to cancel the file upload if a file to upload is bigger than the fixed limit. More information on that topic can be found here.

  hi,
  What is the unit of the MaxFileLength? Is it bytes?
  thanks

  Hi Milind Raje,
  
  Precisely, the accepted values are in bytes.

  hi,
  Thanks for your prompt reply. Also, is there a way to reduce/compress the sizes of the file before being uploaded to the server? For example, make image files smaller.
  thanks

  Hello Milind Raje,
  
  Unfortunately there is no way to do that on the client, since JavaScript does not provide a method of compressing files. Perhaps this can be done using Flash/Silverlight or Java Applet, however, this is out of the scope of RadControls for ASP.NET Ajax.

  Awesome, if it worked! :)
  
  But the ProgressArea refuses to show up when the files are too large.
  
  I could use the DisplayCancelButton property instead, but it breaks progress indicators when i try to upload again!

  Hello Kræn Munck,
  
  
  Could you please open a support ticket and attach there sample project (or at least sample web.config) that reproduces the problem at your end.  We will then research what is going wrong on your side, it looks like a configuration issue to me, probably with IIS, no the ASP.NET runtime.

  No need, you can look at your failing demos! Pick a file larger than 100MiB and you'll never see the progressarea! Happy bug hunting!

  Hello Kræn Munck,
  
  The demo is working as it should. 
  Please read the Notes bellow the demo. When you choose a file bigger than 100MB, it shows the "Page Not Found" Error.

  Hi,
  
  It would be nice if you could agree, when it's "broken" on my side it's a configuration issue, when it's broken on yours, it's "working" as it should?!?
  
  I'd like you to look into the bug!  It's a fact that progress indicators are broken when you try to upload files that are too large..

  Hi,
  
  We managed to reproduce the problem on one of our machine and on the rest the correct error screen was shown. Further investigation showed that this is a problem with the server, which was enable to server error page, despite that the client was redirected there. Now, please note that this behavior is implemented by the ASP.NET runtime and it is the same whether you use FileUpload or RadUpload. This is the first time we receive such report so we will try to troubleshoot it further. Meanwhile, could you please confirm that you reproduce the same problem on different server than our online demos?
  
  All the best,

  Hi,
  
  Not sure why you talk about the error screen?  This is about the progressarea not showing.
  
  It's a problem on my local dev machine and our production server, here are some specs:
  Windows7 x64 - 8 gb mem
  Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 - 16 gb mem
  Both running ASP.NET 4 app pools in Integrated mode
  
  Hope that helps.

  Hello Kræn Munck,
  
  The online demos are configured to allow file uploads up to maximum 100 megabytes. All uploads excluding that limit should be redirected to error screen. This is a feature implemented by ASP.NET and can be reproduced even on projects that does not contain telerik controls at all. Please take a look at this help topic for details.

  Hi Kræn Munck,
  
  On a side note, is it possible to switch to RadAsyncUpload from RadUpload? With RadAsyncUpload it is possible to set maximum file size and perform client-side validation, so that bigger files are not even uploaded. Also, the progress monitoring mechanism in RadAsyncUpload is far less error prone and don't rely on any HttpModule hacks in order to track the progress. You can see the async upload in action here.
