File Filter Flaw

[SchaF]

I recently discovered a flaw with the file upload filter being used with the upload control. I have an upload control set to allow only .pdf and .tif files, so when I click browse to search for files, the only ones that show up as being allowed to be uploaded are .pdf and .tif. However, I I decide to type the file name in, it will allow me to upload whatever I want from .txt, .xaml, .xml or even files with no extensions.

Any reason why this would be happening?

Hello,

 This filter is only how the files are shown in the Open File Dialog. The filter does not prevent adding items in the Upload control that do not meet the filter's criteria. If you want to allow uploading item of only certain types or extensions, you can use the RadUploadItem.Validate event. You can see how to use it here.

Hi,

But the code given given in link is not working. It is giving error that
No overloaded method AddHandler accept two arguments.

Hello Richa,

 Can you please confirm that you have added a reference to the Telerik.Windows namespace?
If yes, is it possible for you to send us a new support ticket with a project in which your issue is reproducible? Thank you in advance.
