File Browser Control To Replace - Input Type

Jun 17, 2010

I'm working on an ASP.NET web application for our corporate intranet users. I have a form where a user should provide a path to the file on the local network (something like "localServersomeFoldersomeFile.ext") without uploading the actual file. The issue is that users don't want to type the whole file path and want to use some kind of visual browse dialog.

The standard HTML <input type=file> element allows to browse for a file, but most of the browsers (except for IE) don't allow to access file's full path, so I think it should be done by some external component like Silverlight, Flash, Java applet etc. I tried to do it with Silverlight, but I'm getting a SecurityException when trying to access file's full path using Silverlight's OpenFileDialog class. This java applet [URL] seems to do something similar to what I'm looking for, but it's focused on uploading files - I only need to be able to get file's full path and pass it to the server as a string.

VS 2008 Open Input Type File On Image Click

Nov 13, 2010

I am trying to streamline the look of my site and I was wondering if there was a way to use the onclick of an image to open up a <input type="file.../>? I want the input to be invisible so it doesn't add clutter to the interface. Here is ultimatly the flow I would ideally have... Image click -> Javascript calls input open. User clicks "open" in the dialog, Input calls some Javascript that calls the click event of the inviable "upload" button. Boom. User clicks image, selects a new one, and I have it automatically on my server without the need for two more buttons... Anyone know if these types of events/functions exists and if so what they are called and how to capture them? Or should I stop making this over complicated and use the method that I know works?

AJAX :: AsyncFileUpload Assigning Styles To Input Type=file Element?

Jul 13, 2010

AsyncFileUpload control is rendering in this way.

<span
id="Span1"><input
type="hidden"
name="uploadinput$ctl00"
id="uploadinput_ctl00"
/><div
id="uploadinput_ctl01"
name="uploadinput_ctl01"><input
name="uploadinput$ctl02"
type="file"
id="uploadinput_ctl02"
id="uploadinput_ctl02" onkeydown="return false;"
onkeypress="return false;"
onmousedown="return false;"
style="width:
355px;"
/></div></span>

Is there any way to assign styles(like width, position,top etc..) to Input type=file element alone.One way i can see, is using Jquery document.ready eventhandler,

$(function(){
var element = document.getElementById('<%=uploadinput.ClientID%>').lastChild.firstChild;
element.style.width = '150px';

but the problem with that is, i am not able to identify input type = file element after postback in that document.ready eventhandler.please let me know if there is any other way to assign styles to input file element of AsyncFileUpload control with out any issues.

How Can I Restrict The File Type In The File Browse Menu Of An AsyncFileUpload AJAX Control Toolkit

Jul 28, 2010

I would like to restrict what they see in the file upload dialog, which is set to "All Files" by default. I understand how to validate that they only uploaded a certain file type, that is not the question here. I would just like to know how to default the file type in the file selection dialog.

Is there any way to change this to "PNG only" or "*.png"?This is using AsyncFileUpload in the ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit.

Get Code - Behind File To Recognize Type Of A User Control?

Jan 18, 2011

I have a custom control in my mater page that represents a menu, let's call it CustomMenu. The control code files are located in a non special directory. I want to give each page that uses that master page the ability to access the control and, using a public property, tell the control whether or not it should render itself. I have a public property on the control to do that, and I know I can get the control by referencing Page.Master.FindControl('IdOfControlIwant');

The problem I'm having is that I can't seem to get the control Type recognized by the compiler, so when I do find the menu control, I can't actually work with it. The only way I can get the code behind to recognize the type is to register it in the ascx file, and then add at least one control to the page, which is undesirable.
