Start upload without FileOpen Dialog

[Sami]

Hi, I have a problem with the RadUpload control. I need to upload a stream (byte array) to the server as a file, in the event FileUploadStarting I can set the stream in the NewFileStream property of the EventArgs parameter, and the stream is uploaded fine, but the problem is the RadUpload needs to open the FileDialog to select the files to upload, if I don't do that, the StartUpload method doesn't work. Is there any way to force upload without open FileDialog?

Thanks in advanced...

Hi,

You have to create an radupload programmatic like this.
RadUpload radUploadControl = new RadUpload();
//Configure
 radUploadControl.UploadServiceUrl = "/ImageUploader.ashx";
 radUploadControl.TargetFolder = "ImageStorageFolder";

 radUploadControl.BufferSize = 100000;
 radUploadControl.Filter = "Image Files (*.gif;*.jpg;*.jpeg;*.png)|*.gif;*.jpg;*.jpeg;*.png";
 radUploadControl.FilterIndex = 3;
 radUploadControl.IsAutomaticUpload = true;

//and add the files
FileInfo fi = new FileInfo(".....");
 RadUploadSelectedFile f = new RadUploadSelectedFile(fi);          
radUploadControl.CurrentSession.SelectedFiles.Add(f); 

//Start upload
 radUploadControl.PrepareSelectedFilesForUpload();
 radUploadControl.StartUpload();

Hello Sami,

You can upload files without using the OpenFileDialog. In order to do that you need to do the following steps on buttons click for instance:

//Open the file in a stream
FileStream stream = new FileStream(@"C:\Users\vandov\Documents\My Received Files\broken.png", FileMode.Open);
// Create a new RadUploadSelecteFile
RadUploadSelectedFile file = new RadUploadSelectedFile(stream, "broken.png");
// Add the file to the current sesion
this.RadUpload.CurrentSession.SelectedFiles.Add(file);
// Force the control to prepare the selected items(it is some kind of a validation)
this.RadUpload.PrepareSelectedFilesForUpload();
// Start the Upload
this.RadUpload.StartUpload();

I hope this information helps.

Kind regards,
