Async Upload access file name on Post

[Robert Madrian]

Hello,

I'm new to the upload extension - I'm able to upload a file async in the App_Data folder but I have the following questions:

 1. how to access the filenames which I have uploaded async in the [HttpPost] ActionResult?
(sync is no problem because I have the HttpPostedFileBase Parameter)

 2. how to ensure that I have unique filenames?

3. I will save the files in my database after the HttpPost - might be a solution to save the the files in a Session variable or should I save them in the App_Data temporary

Hello Robert,

When the files are uploaded asynchronously, the file names could be accessed the same way i.e. as a list of HttpPostedFileBase. You could check the following demo for details.

If you would like to check if a file with the same name has already been selected, you could attach a handler to the select or upload event (depending on which user action you would like to prevent).

The last question is not specifically related to the Upload widget functionality. I would suggest to check for some solutions on stackoverflow.

I hope this information helps. Have a great day!
