Hi,
Is there any way to detect that an invalid file path has been put into the RadUpload control? I tried to type in an invalid value into the fileinput box, which SILENTLY causes the post back to fail. There is no error or warning message and it makes the error handling a bit difficult.
Any suggestions please. Thanks a lot

Hi Gang Xue,
The silent fail of the postback when an invalid path is typed to the file input is the default browser behavior. To my regret the browser limits the control over the file system and it is not possible to check if a path entered to the file input field is valid or not via JavaScript. You can make the RadUpload file inputs readonly for the purpose - this way the users will be able to populate the text area only via the Browse dialog.
Kind regards,
