RadUpload - Casting UploadedFiles to FileInfo[] for Queuing

[jay]

Hello,

I am trying to queue all my uploaded documents using RadUpload.
I can queue easily using Drag n Drop, however I am having difficulties casting the uploadedFiles from RadUpload to FileInfo[]. 
Sections of the working DragnDrop and the Not-working RadUpload are included below. 

How do I cast my UploadedFiles to FileInfo[] ???
Thank You.

private void ImageDrop_Drop(object sender, DragEventArgs e)
{
            // Queue the FileInfo objects representing dropped files
            files = e.Data.GetData(DataFormats.FileDrop) as FileInfo[];
................................
}

private void RadUpload1_UploadFinished(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{

            files = RadUpload1.CurrentSession.UploadedFiles as FileInfo[];
....................................
}

Hi Jay,

The RadUpload1.CurrentSession.UploadedFiles collection is of type Collection<RadUploadSelectedFile> so each item in it is of type RadUploadSelectedFile and this is why you cannot cast it to a FileInfo type. But the RadUploadSelectedFile class exposes a File property of type FileInfo which you can use instead:

private void RadUpload1_UploadFinished(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    var files = new List<FileInfo>();
    foreach (RadUploadSelectedFile uploadedFile in RadUpload1.CurrentSession.UploadedFiles)
    {
        files.Add(uploadedFile.File);
    }
}

Give this approach a try and let us know how it goes.

All the best,

Thanks for your feedback. I had stumbled onto this yesterday.
