I have a form that is split up into multiple tabs (with a RadTabStrip and a RadMultiView).  for other reasons I have to have a postback when the user switches tabs, and the user can switch tabs and cause several postbacks before the form is saved.

I have a RadUpload on the 1st tab.  When I browse for a document, then switch tabs, then come back to the 1st tab, the RadUpload is empty as if I never browsed for a document.   I tried a regular asp:FileUpload control and it behaves the same way.

Is there a way to make it "remember" between postbacks which document I chose? Or am I limited to saving the uploaded document right away with the 1st postback after the user chooses a document?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Kelly,

No, this is not possible.
RadUpload does not support initially selected files or allow file selections to persist across postbacks. This is a security limitation of the standard <input type=file> elements which it uses internally for file selection.

You can check the Known Limitations article for reference.

so there is no way to remember uploaded files ?
Ok, if I keep files on Session, how server side I can say " Hey Radi, take file values from my Session and remember them on postbacks"
smnth like

Dim upFiles As ArrayList = UploadedFiles()

        Dim i As Integer

        For i = 0 To upFiles .Count - 1 Step i + 1

            Dim files As UploadedFile = DirectCast(emo1(i), UploadedFile)

            RadUploader1. --- how to say -  rad upload just display these files are been selected from the user, but now it is postback and remember them

Hi emin,

It is not possible to set values to RadUpload/ASP.NET FileUpload or any other upload that relies on the <input type='file' /> tag. You might use label instead to show the user which files have already been uploaded.

Hi guys,

You can't use RadAjaxManager in collaboration with RadUpload. RadUpload cannot upload files using AJAX calls. This is a limitation of the XmlHttpRequest component, used in all AJAX frameworks for asynchronous calls to the application. In order to upload a file your application must perform a full page postback. Please take a look at the following link for more information on the topic.

Alternatively, you can take a look at the new RadAsyncUpload which is capable of uploading files using AJAX calls and that can be ajaxified using RadAjaxManager. You can see the async upload in action here.
