AsyncUpload

Hi Telerik,

I have AsyncUpload on my page, and I have a very complex validation on the page - this is where server-side validation is used.

When the user does not fill in all mandatory fields / fulfil the submission criteria, error messages will be shown on the page.
At this time, the AsyncUpload control do not keep the earlier uploaded document anymore.
I believe it was because the PostbackTriggers set to btnSubmit, and the client state is lost.

<telerik:RadAsyncUpload id="RadUpload1" runat="server" PostbackTriggers="btnSubmit" />

Is there anyway for me to preserve the AsyncUpload client state in the server-side?
For example, in the below code, as soon as I have detected that the "IsIdeaValid" is false, I will preserve the AsyncUpload client state.
Please advice.

protected void btnSubmit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

ErrorMessage = "";

if(!IsIdeaValid())

return;

Hi Andy

I am sorry I did not see your post 2 days back

Enclosed a small test project.

The checkbox is used as validation process. If the checkbox is checked then I am treating the same in the code that validation has passeed

I have tested by uploading a file with check box unchecked. then check the check box and press the button "save Images" I am treating this has the changes for passing the validation have been made. the file is accessed and reached the location.

I noticed that you are coding in C#, I am more comfortable with vb. Hence the code is in VB. It would be kind of you to change the same to c#

Telerik Dll are not enclosed in the bin directory.

It is not allowing me to upload zip file so I have changed the extension to jpg, kindly rename to a.zip and then unzip.

Regards

Sanjay

Hi Sanjay,

Sorry for missing that bit, yes, it is required by C#.
I am able to upload a file now.

1. I wonder, why do we need to have the file upload code in the Page_Load?
2. The file is still missing after failed in page validation.
I unchecked "Process of Validation", upload a file, and click "Save Images" - but the uploaded file is still missing.
What I expect is as per the attach screenshot. Before upload, and after upload (failed on page validation), it should show the same thing. Is this achievable? And this was my original question :)

Hi Andy

Pardon me if I am wrong

Telerik control starts uploading the file as soon as you select the file. On the trigger file as soon as trigger happens the file moves from the temp folder to new location. Even if you do exit sub before calling e.saveAs the file is lost

Experience taught me make many such turnarounds. I faced the simillar problem when I upload files and primary record is not yet updated saved( so the id is not available comparable to your case of validation failure)

I hope alteast you are able to tide over the crisis if any

You can put a label above the file upload. If your varialble tmp.lenght > 0 then you can label the text with name of file or hide the label

Hi Andy

Hope this would resolve your issue

1) Put a new button : <asp:Button ID="btnupl" runat="server" Text="Upload" />
2) Change the post back trigger control to : PostbackTriggers="btnupl"
3) Javascript code on
<script type="text/javascript">

             function upload_fls()

             {
                 alert("a");
                 document.getElementById("<%=btnupl.ClientID%>").click();
                }

</script>

4) Server side code
Protected Sub btnsvi_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnsvi.Click
        Try
            If vald.Checked Then
                Dim ScriptString As String = "function f(){upload_fls();Sys.Application.remove_load(f);};Sys.Application.add_load(f);"

                ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(Me, Me.[GetType](), "pdfOpener", ScriptString, True)
            End If
        Catch ex As Exception

        End Try
    End Sub

Logic

The server side code button executes to call the validation check. If validation fails then the files will persist in Upload control
If validation clears then it will call the java script which in turn will call the upload code
