Updating RadUploadProgressBar from RadAsyncUpload custom http handler

[Terry]

I have a custom http handler for a radasyncupload control, it uploads the file and creates thumbnails for each page.

I want to be able to update a progressbar, with the fact the file has uploaded and when creating the the thumbnails.

Can it be done?

Hi Terry,

Unfortunately, this is currently not possible using RadAsyncUpload. We will research the scenario and try to find a workaround. I will write a follow up to you by the next week.

Thanks for the response, but really could use that feature.  Seems like it would be possible considering you do show the upload progress currently, if I could just have the upload progress work for the upload and the thumbnail generation, more like a progress for the length of time it is taking it to run as opposed to just the time for the upload.

Hi Terry,

I think we have found a way to do that. I will log the task and we will try to implement it for SP2, however, the chances are that it will be ready for the next release, because it is not a trivial task.

I am looking for the same functionality. Was this ever resolved?

[Genady Sergeev]

Hi Tery,

We have not implemented the feature yet because it was not with a high popularity and we find out that there a some unclear moments. What exactly do you want to happen when the file is uploaded and saved? By that time the ProgressBar would already have reached 100% completion.

Kind regards,

http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/progressarea/examples/customprogress/defaultcs.aspx?RadUrid=b32b2400-fdaf-44c9-bec6-5e551a00dfa4 demonstrates a multi step process using the RadProgressArea.

I wanted to use the RadProgressArea with the custom handler for RadAsyncUpload to show the progress of the three steps.  Upload, encryption, saving to database.

Hi Terry,

Due to some limitations of RadProgressArea this is not possible as of now. We will do a little research to see if we can hack a workaround though. :)

Hi Marty,

What exactly you are trying to achieve? Would you please elaborate a bit more on the scenario you attempt to achieve?

In my scenario I have files that I upload, encrypt and then save to a database.  I would like to show the progress of the upload and when complete notify the user that the file is being encrypted and when that completes notify them that the file is being saved and then finally that all tasks completed.

The RadProgressArea has the ability to show multiple measurable processes so I was hoping to use it to show the progress from each step. 

Is my case the encryption and save processes are completed by a custom handler associated with the AsyncUpload control.

BTW I am not Terry.  Terry started the original thread I just replied to it.

Hi Joe,

Thank you for the clarification. We are currently researching if this is possible and how it can be implemented. I will update this forum thread once we have more information.

Was there ever any extension of the control to accommodate these use cases?

[Hristo Valyavicharski]

Hi,

It depends how these scenarios are implemented. For example if custom handler is used and the uploading is done in this handler the progress area should display the file uploading precisely.

Is there an update on the status of being able to update the RadProgresBar from a custom handler for a RadAsyncUpload control?

We are currently using a custom AsyncUploadHandler which does various forms of processing on an upload and we would like to report the status of this processing to the user.

Thank you.

Hello Joey,

Currently the integration between the RadAsyncUpload and RadProgressArea allows reporting of the file uploading process. Currently, reporting additional processing in the custom upload handler won't be possible.
