Progress Monitoring

Updated on Apr 20, 2026

RadAsyncUpload Progress Monitoring

RadAsyncUpload allows for two distinct ways of progress monitoring. The first one, inline progress, is integrated in RadAsyncUpload and displays like a progress bar below the file being uploaded. You turn on/off inline progress monitoring using the EnableInlineProgress property (true by default).

Progress Monitoring

RadAsyncUpload displays inline progress automatically using the File API module — there is no need to do anything.

The second approach in using monitoring progress is using RadProgressArea. In general RadProgressArea is a dedicated control for monitoring progress, both upload and a custom one. It is possible to use both inline progress monitoring and RadProgressArea monitoring. You can learn more regarding RadProgressArea here.

To use RadProgressArea for progress monitoring, the RadUploadHttpModule/Handler should be registered in the web.config. Instructions on how to do that can be found here.
