RadAsyncupload - unable to clear the uploaded file in OnClientFileSelected

[Praveen kumar]

Hi All,

My requirement goes like , we dont have allowed list extensions , instead we have blocked list of file types/extensions. So i wrote java script which will check against the blocked list [i.e xml file]. should be removed from the upload file collection. So i wrote following  java script.

 function OnClientFileSelected(sender, args) {

               var currentFileName = args.get_fileName();
               var fileExt = '.' + currentFileName.split('.').pop().toUpperCase();
               if (!(IsValidFileType(fileExt))) {
                   // invalid file - inform user and remove
                   alert('"' + currentFileName + '" cannot be uploaded and will be removed.');
                   sender.deleteFileInputAt(args.get_rowIndex());
                   sender.deleteFileInputAt(currentFileName);
               }
           }

this script is runing fine. It is able to remove blocked file extensions from uploading. But in target folder am able to see the blocked files. It means in Front end the blocked file types are removed from uploading list.but in backend it goes to target folder.

Hello,

The RadAsyncUpload's OnClientFileSelected event cannot be canceled so in addition to the code in its event handler you should also subscribe to the OnClientFileUploading event and cancel it if the user tries to upload a file with extension present in the blocked extensions list:

function OnClientFileUploading(sender, args) {

    var currentFileName = args.get_fileName();
    var fileExt = '.' + currentFileName.split('.').pop().toUpperCase();
    if (!(IsValidFileType(fileExt))) {
        args.set_cancel(true);
    }
}
