  I have tried setting this property every way I can. Using the .NET1 version. Including the .zip and .txt .... still nothing.
  Along with this .. up uploaded file count always is 0 .. even though the file makes it to the save location. Whats up?

  The code for your first example (http://www.telerik.com/demos/aspnet/Upload/Examples/IntegratedValidation/DefaultCS.aspx)
  does not appear to function. I am still allowed to select unsupported files and furthermore i can upload them. The process does not fail until after the entire unsupported file is uploaded. This seems broken since the AllowedFileExtensions is set.
  
  I have tried putting the supported extensions in the AllowedFileExtensions propery many different ways. each does nothing to prevent the selections of unsupported files.
  
  How can I prevent a client from having to sit through an entire upload before warning them that the file they selected is not supported?

  Hello John Chatt,
  
  RadUpload can't filter the files so that only the allowed ones are shown. It is that such features are not provided by the browsers. As you have noticed, the files are validated after they were uploaded. If you want to check the extensions on the client, please follow the advice shown here. It is for RadUpload for ASP.NET Ajax, but with slight code changes it will work for RadUpload Classic as well.
  
  What you need to change is:
  
  1) use GetRadUpload instead of $find
  2) Use ValidateExtensions instead of validateExtensions.
  
  All the best,
