I like how the "Html.ValidationMessageFor" and "Html.ValidationSummary" helpers work for validating textboxes, such as for required fields. Is there some way I can accomplish the same thing for a file input control? From the examples I've seen so far you cannot directly bind a file upload to your model, so I can't use the [Required] attribute that I am using for the textboxes.
View 10 RepliesIm trying to upload file (lets say .xls file) but i need to check if the file type is macth with it binary. for example we can renamefileA.mp3 as fileA.xls on our windows and upload it. i need to check this first. can anyone suggest me how to check this file type ?based from what I browse, I found that BInaryReading can do it. here is the code
[Code]....
this check correctly. BUT, once it returns TRUE (when FileA.xls is really an XLS file), the POSTED FILE content will be 0. and the upload went file (the SAVEAS works) , and the file copied to the specified directory. but the content is 0 and when i open it, it said that the file is corrupted.i think this is due to the BINARY READER. is that true ? because before above method called, i make a breakpoint and the POSTEDFILE content length is still 16kb. after the method called, its 0.

I have a fileUpload User Control FileUploadControl.ascx containing asp.net fileupload control and a requiredfield validator.I have another usercontrol RenderingTemplate.ascx that contains two FileUploadControl.ascx.RenderingTemplate.ascx is on page RenderingTemplateDetails.aspx, this page has save and cancel button.Now My requirement is in case user selects a file in one fileupload control,he has to select in other as well. If he does not select any file,let postback happen. cannot use Requiredfieldvalidator as it fires for both. I tried adding onclientclick to page save button and check whether file upload has some text in it.but i didnot succedd.Now i want this functionality to be a part of control so that i dont have to recode it on every page. IS there any clientside event on usercontrol which fires when save button of page is clicked.
View 1 RepliesI have an application that lets the use upload a pdf, I wanted to put a limit on the size the pdf can be. If the user tried to upload something too big I wanted to display a message to the user. I am trying to use a custom validator where it checks the size of the file and if it is too big it will set the "IsValid" to false. Is this the correct way to go about doing this? Is there a better way? When I test it, everything works in IE 8 and FF, but it does not work in IE 7 and can't figure out why.Here is what I have so far, this is on my aspx page:

<asp:Label ID="lblMessage2" runat="server"></asp:Label>

View 1 RepliesI have implemented a validation for the file upload control such that, only when some entry is made in the file upload control textbox, the Upload button will be enabled else it wil be disabled.
When I implemented this , the validation on the Upload button is not working. For the upload button I need to check certain fields are not empty. But I find that because of the above implementation, the validation function for this one is not working .
