Add Image Caption?

[sbowman]

I am using the Rad Upload to allow users on my website to upload images. Is there a way I can save captions with each image file?

Hello sbowman,

Do you by saying "captions" mean "thumbnails"? If yes RadUpload cannot save thumbnails of the uploaded images.

No! A caption is explanatory text to be displayed with an image.

Typically (I have done this often with the Asp.Net upload control) there is a text box displayed along with the upload control. When the file is uploaded to the server, the text is saved to an xml file or to a db.

Hi kula,

Please refer to our Additional Fields example for details on the matter.

Hi Paul,

This is exactly what I was looking for. However, I cannot get it to work locally. Is the example outdated or am I missing something.
I get error messages on the repeater:

Compiler Error Message: BC30691: 'UploadedFile' is a type in 'UI' and cannot be used as an expression.
this line:  Title:&nbsp;<%# ((Telerik.Web.UI.UploadedFile)Container.DataItem).GetFieldValue("Title")%><br />

Hi again,

The trick is to remove all instances of the text:  (Telerik.Web.UI.UploadedFile)

Seems to work as expected once that's done.
