[Solved] Error when uploading file larger than allowed

[John]

When I try to upload a file larger than the MaxFileSize I get a .net error page with "Value does not fall within the expected range."  I don't want the user to get this.  I want the user to get a message on the upload screen.  How do I test for this before it throws the error?

[Genady Sergeev]

Hello John,

RadUpload does not throw an error when the uploaded file size is more than MaxFileSize. Instead it moves the latter file to the InvalidFiles collection. Are you sure that you are using RadUpload for ASP.NET AJAX? If so, please send us a sample project thus we can investigate the issue.

I have been trying different variations of validating the files and it appears that I only get the error with one specific file on my system.  The PDF works normally so I am not sure what the difference is other than that it 50MB larger than then my maxfilesize.

[Genady Sergeev]

Hello John,

I have reviewed your code and I did not manage to find any broken parts. I suppose that for some reason the code for inserting into DB fails because the RadUpload does not throw such an error. I suggest you to wrap your database inserting code into a Try/Catch statement and observe whether the error persist. If you remove the MaxFileSize property does the failing PDF file fail again?

I have tried that and I still get the same error.  The error only occurs when I try to upload a specific file (just happens to be the Telerik manual).  I am able to open the file and it opens fine.

[Genady Sergeev]

Hello John,

It seems that your code for insertion in the database is throwing the error. I suggest you to change it. I have tried uploading the Telerik Manual ( RadControl.pdf size 50.8 mb ) when MaxFileSize was set to "20000" and there were no errors, the file was moved to the invalid files collection instead. I have also tried your code, everything is correct since I do not have the database and the stored procedures that you are using. I suggest you to debug your code and tell us where exactly the error is thrown. It will help a lot to understand the error.

I have figured out that if the file is converted to an image format pdf then it works fine.  I have other pdfs that are created in Adobe that seem to upload fine but when they are retreived I get an error stating "There was an error opening this document,  The file is damaged and could not be repaired.".  Any ideas on why this would happen?

[John]

The last comment can be ignored I figured that one out.  It was how I was pulling the file from the DB.

[Genady Sergeev]

Hello John,

I have created sample project using the very code you provided, including the stored procedure and the data table, however everything is normal, I don't observe any errors. I uploaded and save RadControls.pdf - size 50.8 mb. When MaxFileSize was set to "20000" the uploaded file was not saved to the DB but moved to the InvalidFiles collection instead. Please find my test project along with my test database as an attachment. Does the error persist on your side?
