Web Forms :: FileUpload Control - Handling Max File Size And Its Errors?
Mar 3, 2010
Using C# .NET 3.5 with VS 2008.
I've been playing with the FileUpload control for an upcoming project where the user is allowed to upload up to five files at once, but each file can only be 5MB in size. Simple enough all I would need to do is add in the httpRuntime element to the web.config and up the file size and timeout.
[Code]....
what I'm really getting at is there a better way to trap if the file size is too large before processing while using the FileUpload control. I would like to be able to keep the user on the same page but update a label control.
i am uploading a file through file upload control , file size has greater then 4 MB, I have to give the proper alert msg to the user that file size exceeding the limit.how to do it , because at server side it is crashed on the IIS and not return to the server to check the file size validation.that how it is possible to validate the file size and give the proper alert messege
I use file upload control. How I can define that user can upload 300kb if they upload more than 300kb it show error that they can't upload more than 300KB...
here i define if (fup1.PostedFile.ContentLength < 102400) this size for image but when i upload image that has more than this 100KB it show error ===File size of 756 KB is exceeding the uploading limit but it upload file i don't want users can upload file morethan 100KB but here show error but upload image why?
i am not able to show an alert message when a file is uploaded from a FileUpload control which is more than the size mentioned in web.config file like this in my situation...
how can i control, the width and hight of an image which a user select in an uoload control,for uploading, with specific size(width=150px,hieght=100px)
i want the user only select the image in that specific size of image.
I do not want to change the default settings for file upload, 4Mb is more than enough for the project I'm working on. After quite a bit of searching I found two approaches that were purported to work but neither one is preventing the "Maximum request length exceeded" error. The first approach[see ref. #1 below] performs validation with a custom validator and in code behind on the page that contains the FileUpload control. It doesn't work. The second approach [see ref #2 below] performs validation in the Application_BeginRequest event in Global.asax. The author stated that validation must be handled by this event. Quoting: "The way to get past is to use your Application_BeginRequest event to handle the problem.. This event takes place for each request to your application BEFORE the data has been completely uploaded. Here you can check for the content length of the request and then redirect to the some error page or the same page with some value in session or query string so that the page can show appropriate message to the user." Here is my code from Golbal.asax based on the above. As noted, this approach doesn't work either.
protected void Application_BeginRequest(object sender, EventArgs e) { const int maxFileSize = 4 * 1000000; // Slightly less than 4Mb if (Request.ContentLength > maxFileSize) { Response.Redirect("~/FileUploadError.aspx"); } }
One comment by a reader of the Global.asax approach was that the value returned by Request.Content.Length would include everything on the page, i.e. viewstate, image and text content, etc. I suppose one work-around would be to set the limit higher in web.config but validate for max. file size in code behind, but that seems kind of silly because I'm manipulating the uploaded files (images) to reduce the size anyway; storage space isn't the issue, performance is. Has anyone managed to solve this poblem?
Then I found this solution online to handle the error if someone tries to upload file bigger than 10 MB
[Code]....
This works great on my local machine but when I try to run it from Production server , It still shows me the "Internet Expolrer cannot display webpage". I just want to display a nice message to user when He tries to upload file larger than 10 MB.
I have a FileUpload control in an UpdatePanel and when user select a file, the full file path will will be stored in a hiddenfield, and during postback, i would like to assign the full file path in the hiddenfield back to the FileUpload control textbox, possible to achieve that?
I am planning to create a web page with the name of the student, course,pic and the resume to be uploaded by the user for specified students...
If I upload the resumes of students with same name how to differentiate. Looking for creating a name of the file name randomly as next I'm planning to retrieve the resume via search function to download and view the resumes....
Saving the resumes with same name with differentiate or randomly to save the files with new file name....
The requirement is that the whole original file path be saved to the database; for example: L:folder1folder2xyz.doc. However; the FileName property of the FileUpload control will only give "xyz.doc". We are interested in obtaining the full path only and really not interested in using the control to do any upload.
Is there any way to get the full path? We would like our user to be able to browse to the target file instead typing into a textbox because the folder name could be very long and several levels deep in our organization.
I need to create folder and save in to the documentfor example:Suppose if upload the file that file should be save into as/as1/filename like i want saveas/as1/filename, this name will chnage for different different actions..
I have a fileupload control on my page that I use to add files to my DB. When I point it to a .swf file it fails.The file is 2.69mb.I check the fileupload1.hasfile and it is false.I have tried to increase the

which is over 10mb with still no luck.Any thoughts why a flash file is not recognized?
Actually i am using JavaScript validation for Image or Word or Excel File & its working perfectly. My aim is making its full professional.
For Example When you use Photoshop and open any file you see only those extension which are applicable for Photoshop i.e. jpg, jpeg bmp, psd, png etc. You never see .doc, .xls or any other which are not open with Photoshop. This is i want to do, When i open for an Image it should show only Image Type file extension in file type By default its its showing All Files, As i use extension validation in JavaScript, it never accept .doc or .xls files in Image Type Validation but it will show. I want only that file type show for which i open.
i want to set default value in Fileupload control.Because when i select file name using fileupload then save that file to sqlserver database i got problem when no file is select. so i found alternate of that i should store default image into database through fileupload control but now my query is how to set default image to fileupload control. i want source code.
