RadAsyncUpload get value MaxFileSize client side

[Erik]

Hello,

Seems simple, but how do I get the MaxFileSize client side? I've created a standard JS function for validation:

function OnClientValidationFailed(sender, args) {

    try {

        var fileExtention = args.get_fileName().substring(args.get_fileName().lastIndexOf('.') + 1, args.get_fileName().length);

        if (args.get_fileName().lastIndexOf('.') != -1) {//this checks if the extension is correct

            if (sender.get_allowedFileExtensions().indexOf(fileExtention) == -1) { //alert("Wrong Extension!");

                var msg = 'The file upload has failed because this is not an allowed extension. Allowed extensions are {0}.';

                msg = msg.replace("{0}", sender.get_allowedFileExtensions());

                radalert(msg, 400, 200, 'The file upload has failed.', null, null);

            }

            else { //alert("Wrong file size!");

                var msg = 'The file upload has failed because the file is to large. Maximum file size allowed is {0} Kb.'

                msg = msg.replace("{0}", 4096000 / 1024);

                radalert(msg, 400, 200, 'The file upload has failed.', null, null);

            }

        }

        else { //alert("not correct extension!");

          var msg = 'The file upload has failed because this is not an allowed extension. Allowed extensions are {0}.';

            msg = msg.replace("{0}", sender.get_allowedFileExtensions());

            radalert(msg, 400, 200, 'The file upload has failed.', null, null);

        }

    }

    catch (ex) {

        alert("JS Error #1311161741:" + ex);

    }

    setTimeout(function () { sender.deleteFileInputAt(0); }, 10);

}

(Hope it helps others)
I thought it useful to inform the user that not only the file is to large, but also what the maximum file size is. Since this is a function that is used for many purposes, I want the function to retrieve something like: sender."get_maxFileSize"? So, get the MaxFileSize via the sender.

Thanks in advance,

Erik

Hello Erik,

To get the needed value you can use either of the following two lines of code:

sender.get_maxFileCount();
//or
sender._maxFileSize;

Thank you Kate, this is working fine.

Just out of curiosity: is there anywhere I can find this kind of information myself?

Hi Erik,

Please check this documentation on RadAsyncUpload Client Object which lists the client side methods of the control.

Hope this helps,

Hello Erik,

You can use our on-line documentation as Shinu suggested and you can also check out the following blog post where it is described in details how you can find out any of the methods and properties that are used in the code of the control - http://www.sitefinitysteve.com/articles/clientside-debugging.
