Hi,

same problem for me. Drag'n'Drop an email out of outlook to the desktop will create a file name using the email subject and adding .msg. I need a possibility to change the filename before or while uploading (not after because you cannot save these lang filename in the upload folder because of the 255 chars restriction. Anyone any idea to handle this???

We are currently testing this:

https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/asyncupload/how-to/how-to-extend-the-radasyncupload-handler

Looks very promising for me at the moment

The error occurs in this method: 

Telerik.Web.UI.AsyncUpload.ContentAppender.AppendToFile(String fullPath, Stream content, Int32 retries)  --> System.IO.PathTooLongException

 

This might be a problem of the used .Net Framework, have a look at the following MS page:

https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/dotnet/api/system.io.pathtoolongexception?view=netframework-4.7.2

Hi,

 

for me the only way was to create a custom HttpHandler within the RadAsyncUpload Control. I overwrite the base.ProcessRequest and handle the Chunk File handling by myself. I do not use the Telerik tmp file naming. 

public new void ProcessRequest(System.Web.HttpContext context)
        {
            try
            {
                if (AsyncUpload.IsAsyncUploadWorkaroundEnabled)
                {
                    string RawCMD = context.Request.Form[CHUNK_METADATA];

                    if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(RawCMD))
                    {
                        AsyncUploadChunkMetaData aucmd = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<AsyncUploadChunkMetaData>(RawCMD);

                        if (aucmd.UploadID.Length > 100)
                        {
                            aucmd.UploadID = FileUtils.TruncateFileName(aucmd.UploadID, MaxFileName);

                            SetFormValue(context.Request.Form, CHUNK_METADATA, JsonConvert.SerializeObject(aucmd));
                        }
                    }
                }

                base.ProcessRequest(context);
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {

                System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(ex);

                throw;
            }
        }

 

private void SetFormValue(System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection form, string key, string value)
{
    // Get the "IsReadOnly" protected instance property.
    var propInfo = form.GetType().GetProperty
    (
        "IsReadOnly", System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic
    );

    // Mark the form collection as NOT "IsReadOnly"
    propInfo.SetValue(form, false, new object[] { });

    // Change the value of the key.
    form[key] = value;

    // Mark the form collection back as "IsReadOnly"
    propInfo.SetValue(form, true, new object[] { });
}

This was (for me) the only way to fix this 16bit SYSTEM.IO problem.
