Send additional data with upload

[Scott]

I am testing out the upload control and need to send some other pieces of data to the handler along with the files, ie user id so I can link the user with the file in the db.  Is there a standard way to do this?  Normally I guess I would use a session var but that obviously won't work in this case, seems like it would be useful to be able to send additional params in the post.

Hi scott,

Yes - we are working on that - it will be available with the next update of the upload control.

We will have a property of type Dictionary which you can populate with the info you need. Those param/value pairs will then be available in the server handler for further processing. Is this ok for your scenario?

Thanks for the feedback.

Hi Valentine;

I'm not answering behave of Scott, but the idea of Dictionary is very good to provide the Param/Value pair. My vote on that too ;-)

[Scott]

yes, that sounds perfect.  thanks!
