Hello Dave Miller,

I'm not sure I understand your requirement. Do you want to change the text which appears in the RadProgressArea in front of the name of the uploading file (screenshot attached)? If this is so, you can change this text by using the following code:

RadProgressArea1.Localization["CurrentFileName"] = " your text here "

If you want to display a different name in the RadProgressArea for the currently uploaded file, you should use the CurrentOperationText key in the progress hashtable. You can see how to use it in the demo you have mentioned.

If this is not what you want, please give more detailed description about the functionality you want to achieve.



All the best,

Dimcho,

I am not looking to change the text/filename showing in the progress area. What I want to do is rename the file being saved. I am not sure in this example where the uploading is actually being processed.

Thanks,
Dave

Hi Dave,

The Custom Progress example demonstrates the ability of RadProgressArea to monitor the progress of any measurable process. The selected file is uploaded on postback and if you want to rename and save it you should do this on the server side. These features are not demonstrates by the example because its purpose is to show only the upload progress.

You can easily manipulate the uploaded files using the provided solution in this link. It shows how to achieve the requested functionality using RadUpload control.

Dimcho,

Thanks, The link gave me what I needed.

I was on the right track but had the "TargetFolder" path set.

Chase,

Look at the example at http://www.telerik.com/DEMOS/ASPNET/Prometheus/Upload/Examples/ManipulatingTheUploadedFiles/DefaultCS.aspx

in the code behind:

foreach(UploadedFile validFile in RadUpload1.UploadedFiles)
                {
                    string targetFolder = Server.MapPath("~/Upload/Examples/ManipulatingTheUploadedFiles/MyFiles");
                    validFile.SaveAs(Path.Combine(targetFolder, validFile.GetName()), true);
                }

Simply change the "validFile.GetName()" to the new file name like :

validFile.SaveAs(Path.Combine(targetFolder, "newfile.jpg"), true);

or:

string strNewFileName = "newfile.jpg";
validFile.SaveAs(Path.Combine(targetFolder, strNewFileName), true);

also if you are dynamically changing the save path "targetFolder" make sure you don't set the "TargetFolder" attribute in the "<telerik:radupload />" on the .aspx

Hope that helps,

Dave

Ok i have it half way working.  Instead of renaming the file, it is creating a new file with the new name but leaving the old file... I am worried about this because they way my app works is EVERYONE will be uploading a file with the "Exact Same Name".  ValuePro.xml

 
    Protected Sub submitButton_Click()  
        Dim fName As String = Guid.NewGuid().ToString  
        For Each f As UploadedFile In RadUpload1.UploadedFiles  
            f.SaveAs(Server.MapPath("~\App_Data\ValuePro\") & fName & ".XML"True)  
        Next 
    End Sub 
 

So there is potential for two users to upload a file at the same time and the files get their wires crossed.  I do not want "ValuePro.Xml" to reside on the server anywhere...

thoughts?

Chase,

Using the code below should not be saving the file twice with both names. It should be saving just one file with the new fName string as the name. Was there a file named "ValuePro.Xml" to start?

Protected Sub submitButton_Click()     
        Dim fName As String = Guid.NewGuid().ToString     
        For Each f As UploadedFile In RadUpload1.UploadedFiles     
            f.SaveAs(Server.MapPath("~\App_Data\ValuePro\") & fName & ".XML", True)     
        Next    
    End Sub   
 

The only other thing is if you are uploading multiple files you would want to change it to something like this.

Protected Sub submitButton_Click()        
        Dim fName As String         
        For Each f As UploadedFile In RadUpload1.UploadedFiles    
            fName = Guid.NewGuid().ToString  
            f.SaveAs(Server.MapPath("~\App_Data\ValuePro\") & fName & ".XML", True)        
        Next       
    End Sub      
 

Regards,
Dave
