    I have a custom handler that I am using to encrypt and store  uploaded tiff files to a database.  I want to add validation that would check the file to see if it is corrupt before saving. How do I send an error message back to the client?

    Hi Joe,

    You could return an error message as you change the result returned by the Handler's process method
    protected override IAsyncUploadResult Process(UploadedFile file, HttpContext context, IAsyncUploadConfiguration configuration, string tempFileName)
    {
        var queryStringParam1 = context.Request.QueryString["saveToFolder"];
        string targetFolder = context.Server.MapPath(configuration.TargetFolder);
        string fileName = file.GetName();      
     
        CustomAsyncUploadResult result = CreateDefaultUploadResult<CustomAsyncUploadResult>(file);
        //file.SaveAs(targetFolder + "/" + fileName);
         
        if (true)
        {
            //Success
            result.ErrorMessage = String.Empty;
        }
        else
        {
            // Error. Set error message      
            result.ErrorMessage = "File failed to upload in DB";
        }   
        
        return result;
    }

    and then handle it on the client in OnClientFileUploaded event:
    function OnClientFileUploaded(sender, args) {
        var msg = args.get_fileInfo().ErrorMessage;
     
        if (msg) {
            //Display error message
            $('#msg').text(msg);
            //Remove selected file
            $('.ruButton.ruRemove').click();
        }
    }

    For your reference I'm attaching small sample demonstrating how this code works. Additionally you could take a look at this online demo which implements the same approach.
