Required Field Validator on RadUpload in RadGrid Template Column

[Bruce Parr]

All,

I am trying to figure out a way of requiring a file to be uploaded when doing an insert. I have the plumbing all connected in the ItemCreated event of the grid, but I can't seem to hook the RequiredFieldValidator to the RadUpload control in the Edit template.

I thought about using a custom validator instead, but I still can't seem to figure out how to get a hold of the RadUpload control in the custom validator event.

Can anyone provide some suggestions and snippets to get me past this?

Thanks,
jax

Ignore if this is not what you need but could you not use the following in the ItemCreated event?

If RadUpload1.UploadedFiles.Count > 0 Then

  

'System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(3000)

  

Else

  

lblMsg.Text = "You have not selected a Photo to upload."

  

lblMsg.CssClass = "lblHeaderRed"

  

Exit Sub

  

End If

  

If RadUpload1.InvalidFiles.Count > 0 Then

  

For Each f As UploadedFile In RadUpload1.InvalidFiles

  

If f.ContentLength > RadUpload1.MaxFileSize Then

  

lblMsg.Text = String.Format("The file you have tried to upload has exceeded the maximum file size allowed.<br>File name: {0}<br>File extension {1}<br>File Content type: {2}<br>File Size: {3} MB", f.GetName(), f.GetExtension(), f.ContentType, Math.Round(Convert.ToDouble((f.ContentLength / 1024) / 1024), 2))

  

Else

  

lblMsg.Text = String.Format("<b>The file you have tried to upload is not a valid photo file.</b> <br> Allowed File Extensions: .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .gif, .bmp<br>File name: {0}<br>File extension {1}<br>File Content type: {2}", f.GetName(), f.GetExtension(), f.ContentType)

  

End If

  

and just use the FindControl method to find the RADUpload, something like this:

For Each c2 As Control In RadGrid
    If c2.GetType.ToString = "Telerik.Web.UI.RadUpload" Then
     *Above code here*
    End If
Exit For
Next
