Modify Filename and Insert Into DB Issue

[Matt]

I'm having  a hard time wrapping my brain around this one!  The AsyncUpload is going to be part of a form that captures other information about the document. The file will be uploaded to the server and a new record is inserted into the database. As part of this, I am also modifying the filename.

My issue is that the file is moving out of the temporary location before any of the service side code is run. It IS uploaded OK and moving to the right folder. But it is doing it immediately at the form's submit button click so I am unable to change it's filename. This then causes my script to error out because it can't find the temporary file (it is already removed).

I'm sure this is a rookie question! But please take a look at this code. Thanks!

 

    protected void btnDocUpload_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        foreach (UploadedFile file in RadAsyncUpload1.UploadedFiles)
        {
            //we are going to rename the file with the Catnumber + the date
            string newDocName = txtCatNumber.Text + DateTime.Now.ToString("M-d-yyyy");

    docBL doc = new docBL();
            doc.DocumentUpload(txtCatNumber.Text, newDocName);

            file.SaveAs("_SDFiles_\\" + newDocName + file.GetExtension(), true);
        }
    }

Hi Matt,

 just as a hint: You do know that you can control where the control saves the file temporary and where to move it to after a successful processing ?

Check last 2 options in the markup:
<telerik:RadAsyncUpload ID="RadAsyncUpload1" runat="server" MultipleFileSelection="Disabled"  MaxFileInputsCount="1" Skin="Bootstrap"  TargetFolder="C:\temp\" TemporaryFolder="c:\mytemp\"></telerik:RadAsyncUpload>

BR,

Hi Matt,

Make sure that the TargetFolder property is NOT defined.

Thanks - I DID have the TargetFolder assigned in the properties. Removing that solved my issue. And thanks, Ralf - I will explore the post-processing move property as well.

Can the target folder be relative? Or does it have to be an absolute path? My Production server's file paths would be a little different.

The path can be relative, but Virtual Folders cannot be used.

This post helped me solve my problem with uploading to a relative path folder. Thanks.
