Way to check if HtmlInputFile is empty while "uploading"

[Silvio]

Hi,

Sometimes when I set the value of a HtmlInputFile the value isn't set and after the set timeout a TimeoutException is thrown. In order to give the upload enough ime I have to set the timeout to 2 minues, so the TimeoutException is thrown after 2 minutes even if the value wasn´t set.
Is there any way to check if the value was set before the timeout is over? Two minutes are a long time for a not working test.

That´s my current code:

while (string.IsNullOrEmpty(uploadField.Value)
{
try
{
uploadField.Upload(path, 120000);
}
catch (TimeoutException) { Thread.Sleep(1000); }
}

Thanks
Kind regards

Hello Silvio,
I'm not sure what you mean here:

even if the value wasn´t set.

How is it that the value is not set? Please elaborate on this so that I may assist (possible with a custom coded solution). Also, I was surprised to see that you seem to be using a different approach than the one outlined in this article:

All the best,

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply, i´ve been ill.

"Even if the value wasn´t set" means, that the test is timed out the whole time even if it completely doesn´t work.

But the solution from documentation seems to work. I didn´t find it before.. Thanks for your help!

Kind regards
