How to keep file in asyncupload during post back

[Jerry]

Hello,

I have a user registration web form page where users have to enter specific fields. 

I go through and fill out the info but when I leave a required field blank I have a server side error check.  When it does the error check I lose the document within my radAsyncUpload control.    The file is already saved in the App_Data till I save it when the post is error free.

 

Can the control hold the file information till an error free post back is made?

I don't want my users to have to select their file multiple times.

 

Thank you,

Jerry

Hello Jerry,

The RadAsyncUpload has a mechanism for keeping the selected file across postbacks and it involves setting a the PostbackTriggers property. You can learn more about it in the following documentation article.
You could use this functionality along with a HiddenField, the Value of which you can set to "valid" in the code behind and after the postback check the value and upload the file by clicking a hidden button. The selected file will be kept up to that point, because only a postback from Button1 will upload the files:

<script type="text/javascript">
    function pageLoad() {
        var $ = $telerik.$;
        if ($("#HiddenField1").val() == "valid") {
            $("#HiddenField1").val("");
            $("#Button1").click();
        }
    }
</script>
<asp:HiddenField runat="server" ID="HiddenField1" />
<telerik:RadAsyncUpload runat="server" ID="RadAsyncUpload1" TargetFolder="~/Uploads" PostbackTriggers="Button1">
</telerik:RadAsyncUpload>

<asp:Button Text="Upload" ID="Button2" runat="server" OnClick="Button2_Click" />
<asp:Button runat="server" ID="Button1" Style="display: none;"></asp:Button>

Hi,

I have a problem with this RadAsnycUpload control wich is used multiple times on the first page of a Wizard that is implemented with MVP pattern and has a custom validation. 

The settings for the multiple RadAsnycUpload  controls are :

  <uc1:UploadFilesControl ID="oUploadMatrix" runat="server" Path="\LoggerInfos\Matrix\"
                Info="Hinweis: Mindestens eine *.dbc / *.ldf / *.xml-Datei ist erforderlich"
                Style="margin-bottom: 15px" PostbackTriggers="btnOk" OnClientValidationFailed="OnMatrixFileValidationFailed" />

Now the problem : 

Each time a validation error occurs and user corrects it the RadAsnycUpload loses the uploaded file.

Can you help me please with this problem ?

I have a similar issue where the file is getting lost when a validation fails.

How did you fix this issue?

 

Thanks

Hi there,

There is another forum thread on this scenario. Please check it out at Retain uploaded files for display after postback / validation problems.
