[Solved] Max files allowed to upload

[CD]

The upload control has allow multiple, true or false. Is there a way to set a max files allowed when set to multiple? For example, set to multiple but only allow 3 files to be selected for upload? 
Also, we need to be able to also save a description of the file as well as the filename to a db for each file selected. Is there a way to handle this easier than what I've done before which was to allow only one file to up.load at a time, disallow automatically saving, have a separate textbox for additional info and then post to the controller. In the controller the file.saveas is called, if successfully saved, then run a second command to save the additional info and filename to a db. This kind of solution is fairly difficult when allowing multiple file selection. Any ideas?

Hi,

One option for limiting the number of uploaded files is to keep a count through the client-side events. This can be a bit tedious though.

Since you also want to add a description I suggest you to take a look at the Upload in Grid code library. You should be able to add a limit for the number files with relative ease.

I hope this helps.
