Hi Telerik,
I am using the MVC Upload control and am running into a problem where the upload attachments are cleared after every post. I have it on a form, and when the form is submitted, I POST to the controller, where I run some server side validation. If the server side Validation fails, I set the ValidationMessage to display the error and return View(). However, after the POST, all attachment info is cleared. Is there some way to preserve the attachment info after the POST, or to prevent the Upload control from clearing if the form fails server side validation?

Hello Ryan,

I believe this is the normal behavior for the standard <input type="file" /> as well. Values are not preserved across page reloads.
You should consider using the Upload in asynchronous mode. It will allow you to upload the files to a temporary location and keep them there until the user has completed the form. This help article will give you and idea on how to maintain the association between the user and the uploaded files - Sending and receiving metadata.
I hope this helps.
