How to restrict File types in Rad Upload dialog window?

[Aswath]

Hi,

I want to restrict user to select/browse only restricted files, like in html file upload control we have a property called 'Accept' which will take the parameters as file types with cama seperated.

ex: <input type="file" accept="image/jpg,image/png" name="file1" />

I want to know whether this property is availabe in Rad Upload control?

Thanks.

Hello Aswath,

Unfortunately this is not possible. This is one of the limitations of the <input type="file" /> HTML element.

By the way I tested the markup you have pasted and it didn't work in any browser. Does it work at your side?

Hello Aswath,

I am afraid this is not possible with RadUpload for ASP.NET Ajax because of the security restrictions of <input type="file" />. A possible workaround is to use RadUpload for Silverlight. You can check our online demo here.
